Season Update
The 2018 season at Bow Narrows has been busy and fun for all of us here at camp. And while things calm down here this time of year, the beauty of the fall is just ramping up. Relaxed, happy guests are the name of the game with many great reviews on the food too....
Northern Pike: Shameless Gastro-naut
Warning: the following photos may just ruin your appetite...unless you are a northern pike. It really is amazing what those guys will eat. Just look at these two pictures of what we found in a pair of 25-inchers. The first photo shows the stomach contents comprised of...
43 Inches and Well-fed
Last week, Darryl Hamer caught this whopper, well-fed pike, as well as other big pike and good-sized walleye to boot with his sons and friend. Here are a few photos they shared of their week with us at Bow Narrows Camp.
Redhorse Sucker Fish
A couple of weeks ago, an unusual catch was reeled in by Bow Narrows guest Dan Sharp while fishing at the mouth of Red Lake's Green Bay. Check out this beautiful Redhorse Sucker Fish. Just a few days ago, another one was caught from our front dock. Our old camp blog...

A Lake Trout Catch
This week, guest John Andrews caught and released this 36-inch, tagged male lake trout which is about 15 years old based on the number on his tag. When the fish was tagged 2 years ago, its total length was about 2 inches smaller, give or take a bit since it is likely...
The Gut Rock
Tonight, our first guests of the year finished their supper and headed back out to fish some more. Some of these guests have had days of catching more big fish, one right after another, than they ever have this first week of the season. The weather is unseasonably...
Mealtime Magic
Years ago, my mom and her sister located their relatives in the Alsace-Lorraine region of France. When they went to France to meet them, they were treated to an incredible, grand-celebration meal. A few years after this, when my sister Mary and family moved to that...
