2011 has been a banner year for fishing on Leech Lake. We clean our guests fish so we know how many and how big the catches are, and we cleaned a lot of Walleyes, Jumbo Perch and Northern pike, plus some nice Largemouth Bass, Crappies and Sunfish. The Musky fishermen had a very good year also with many recorded catch, photo and release, at the resort. I don't see any reason that 2012 won't be just as good, the DNR has been stocking Leech Lake the last 6 seasons with Walleye and controlling the Cormorant population, which from what we see is improving all fishing. We do have 7 cabins available all year for those that want to enjoy the winter on Leech Lake.
Cabin 10 has underwent major changes for 2011.  The cabin is now 33% larger including a second bathroom, new kitchen and completely remodeled interior and exterior. For more information review this cabin under the title "Big Rock Cabins". Cabin 3 is another complete makeover. Just Beautiful!
The astounding success of the professional walleye tournament fisherman on Leech Lake in 2011 was one indication of the excellent condition of the walleye fishery. The Department of Natural Resources studies of Leech Lake provide data that confirms that information. Leech Lake anglers recorded the highest number of hours on the water in ten years and also had great success in catching walleye, perch and northern pike. The DNR anticipates that excellent fishing will continue in 2012 and the years to come.
