42 Inch Northern Pike on GridironGreat Walleye and Northern fishing have kept Jim Basara and his gang returning to Gridiron Lake for nearly a decade.

From the cabin on Gridiron, the group can access Sassafras Lake and the Minneapolis, MN resident said the group likes both lakes because the fishing is good (the biggest Walleye the group has reeled in so far is 28 inches.) and is the right size for easy fishing.

“We’ve been to other lakes in Canada where the lake was 50 miles wide and about 150 miles long. Here, if the weather turns nasty, you can get back to the cabin quickly. Even people we bring up for the first time can figure it out.”

Basara and friends have brought their wives and returned to Gridiron as many as three times in one summer.
“Everybody comes home happy.”

The eight person, two bedroom cabin has a small beach in front and ice house and with solar lights, stove with oven, refrigerator, cold and hot running water, showers and radio phones, provides all the necessary comforts. Over the years, the continual upgrades to facilities such as the installation of electric water pump to replace a gas pump, has eliminated the need for priming the generator and “it means more time for fishing.”

“Kashabowie Outposts run a top notch operation. They maintain the facilities and have kept current,” said Basara. “I’ve always been very happy with the level of service.”

An easy day’s drive, Basara said the group likes to come up the day before departure to Gridiron and stay at the Paddler’s Rest Bed and Breakfast, right next to the Kashabowie Outposts hangar.

It’s those memories of Gridiron that brighten a long Minnesota winter and keep Basara planning return trips.

“I enjoy the time I spend with my friends in the boat, fishing. We always have a good time.”

Big Walleye Gridiron Lake June 14th 2007

Hey gang,

Thought you might like this picture, it’s one of the smaller Walleye but
hey, we didn’t get any pictures of the bigger ones.

Biggest Walleye of 2007

Huge Trophy Walleye This walleye was caught and released by Alex on Gridiron on June 14th – 32″ length 17′ girth. We were part of the Barry Bennett party that was there that week.

By the way Alex caught this on his 14th birthday! – It doesn’t get any
better than that!

We look forward to Wapikaimaski next year,

Barry B. & Mark G.

Canadian Fly in Fishing
At It’s Finest!

We at Kashabowie Outposts are always improving our Outpost Cabins and upgrading our Fly in Fishing accommodations with new amenities – like a new sauna, improved floating docks, new boat motors and much more.

Fern Duquette and Don Blair are very fastidious – especially about the Outpost Cabins. They review every detail camps each fall and again in the spring just after the ice is off the lakes.

We have an annual love-affair with attending Sport Shows to have a coffee with our old friends and guests – and we always like to improve our websites each year as a way of honouring the Photo Contest Entries from our guests.

Watch here for a long list of regular updates on our preparations for the approaching Fishing Season!  (we heard the Farmers Almanac holds exciting predictions for anglers in 2008… )
