The cost is $18 per person for all day. The barge will open at 7:00 a.m. and will close at 6:00 p.m. Because it is bordering waters yo u can use either a Minnesota or Wisconsin fishing license.\n\nThere is a f lag pole on shore to let the boat know that there is a pick up to take out to the barge.

Please keep in mind when packing that t here are a lot of steep steps and a long walk from where you park to where you get on the boat.  TRAVEL LIGHT! This trip is not handicap accessible due to the stairs you must go down to get to the river. Anglers are encou raged to use proper fish handling techniques and are asked to consider cat ch and release of the large female fish that will be full of eggs at this time.\n\n\n\nThe barge can get very crowded. The early bird gets the best spots and the locals will be in line prior to 7:00 am to get first crack a t their spot. We will have check in people on the boat so look for the tab le close to the office on the barge.\n\nInformation sharing\, car pooling\ , tips and tactics can be shared on the event page on facebook.

Walleye fishing in the the Wolf River is some of the best in the midwest.  We have rented the entire Rend Banks  resort and we are ready to fish. One of the good things about this trip\, is the shore fishing is excellent. We have severa l large piers that we have access to and we are dialed into the methods th at catch fish there.\n\n\nFor boat owners\, there is a launch on sight and some pier parking is available. You should have some experience boating i n current\, and the current conditions at the time of our event will not b e known until just prior to us getting there. Some times it’s not to bad and other years its raging. Something to check on for sure.\n\nThis year we have rented a pontoon boat and one of our best boat Captains\, “ Chri s” will be driving it. Spots on that boat are available to purchase for a small fee. Fee goes to the boat rental. We also reserved a pontoon boat and professional guide “ Bob”\, who can take out two shifts of gals\, 6 at time. Bob is one of the most experienced guides on that water and has owned Red Banks resort for over 30 year. Plus he is super fun!\n\nSeveral of our members already have their groups together and are waiting for thi s event to open. I am saving some space for  new people who do not know a nyone yet. Last year we had several first time event goers and now they ar e like one of the family.\n\nIf you want to come and fish for the day\,   there is a $10  daily fee to fish off the piers.  You can pay that at th e bar when you get there.\n\n If you want to attend this event\, email me at icefishher@gmail.com.

Ten years ago\, twenty of us were shore fishing from Buck horn State park at the very first Fish Camp. That event still holds specia l memories for those of us that were there.\n\n[caption id="attachment_166 6" align="aligncenter" width="347"] The very first Fish Camp group photo.[ /caption]\n\nFast forward 10 years\, and we are still sharing the passion for fishing with as many Women as we can. This year Fish Camp will be held on The Turtle Flambeau Scenic Wilderness Waters Area. With over 200 miles of shoreline\, and over 12000 acres of water\, there will be plenty of pl aces to find some fish. Kayaks and small boats can find back bays\, island s and stump fields. The larger boats try to stay within the river channels and to avoid the area’s with stumps and hazards. The water level fluctu ates so at times hazards are visible and other times under the surface of the stained water.\n\nOur accommodations will include cabins at Donner's B ay Resort. Right next door we have several A frame cabins right on the wa ter. Our group meeting place with be at Cedar Lodge. The lodge is a huge l og cabin that has 11 bedrooms\, a giant kitchen\, and plenty of space to h old our group activities. Large screen T.V’s\, a huge bar\, and an open area for our entertainment and meetings. We will have access to several re sorts boats to use and some motor rentals are available.

The first is Turtle River Trading Company\ , which is a great bait shop that carries all the bait and tackle you will need. They are located at 5227 N US Highway 51.  Next is the Wampam Shop .

Me neither so we are making our own! Join us for a week in th e U.P. of Michigan. WI Women Fish took a trip to the UP several years ago and they have been asking to go back ever since. We have rented an entire 4-H camp and it sits right on the water. Located on Sawyer Lake in Dickins on County\, this 250 acre lake has great fishing\, including big blue gill s and crappies\, nice bass and northern pike. Walleye have been planted in the lake several years ago but they are not yet abundant.\n\nRight near t his Camp is the beautiful Michigammee River. We plan on taking a day and k ayaking this wonderful stretch that is close to the camp. Last time we cau ght bass\, pike and walleye while kayak fishing this route. Deer and wildl ife are plentiful and if you are lucky\, you will see a moose.\n\nThe Summ er Camp will be good for kayak’s\, canoes\, big and small boats. The sho re fishing is ok near the camp and there are several nearby lakes that pro duce bass and pan fish close to shore. There are camp canoes to use on the lake.\n\nThe big water nearby\, that boat owners will want to fish\, is t he Michigamme Reservoir or Peavy Falls Reservoir. Both of these waters are large and undeveloped\, which makes for beautiful scenery. There are a to n of other small lakes near by that would be great to kayak or canoe. Ther e is also a nice swimming beach right out front and several other lakes cl ose by if you want to try something new.\n\nIn addition to fishing\, swimm ing\, kayaking and nightly fires\, we have several other activities planne d. We are having a cribbage tournament\, a day of golf\, a felt painting c lass\, sporting clays\, human Foosball and dinner at Silver Lake Resort an d a few trips to experience the local establishments such as Taco Tuesday and a Friday Fish fry.\n\nThe camp has two large dorm rooms with bunks. Su re we would prefer private rooms and queen size beds but what the heck\, t he price is right. I plan on reserving one dorm room for people that snore . This can be disturbing to the rest of the group so don’t feel bad if y ou get booted to the snoring side. That being said this is a great place t o bring ear plugs and run a fan for white noise. You will have to bring yo ur own sleeping bag\, pillow and if you are like me\, a little more paddin g for that bunk.\n\nHere are some pictures of the venue.\n\n \;\n\n&nb sp\;\n\n[gallery ids="1777\,1776\,1775\,1774\,1773\,1772\,1771\,1770"]\n\n Tentative schedule\n\nSunday - arrive after 3:00 p.m. Welcome dinner provi ded at orientation at 4 p.m. Get settled in.

Kayaker’s can fish Sawyer or plan on going to Edey lake which is right across the street. At 4.p.m. we will head over the the Sportsman’a club and see what sporting clays are all about. We will have burgers and brats afterwards. The Sportsman’s  club is right on Edey Lake so if you vent ured over there\, you will be at the right place.\n\nTuesday - Lets take the boats to  Peavey Pond. Peavy Pond is\npart of The Wilderness Shores Area\, this lake (2400 acres) is best for fishing walleye\, perch\, northe rn muskellunge\,and northern pike. The water averages 25' with some deeper ares around. Lots of under water humps\, cliffs\, and islands for structu re. Easy access from hard gravel road with a concrete ramp.\n\nFor those o f you with out a boat\, you can kayak\, canoe\, or rent a pontoon.  You c an launch at the Michi - Aho resort.  The river runs right into Peavy Po nd where the bigger boats will be. We previously did a trip there and it w as beautiful. We have a pontoon on hold for the day. After you register an d you want a spot on the pontoon\, let me know. ( rental fee additional ch arge).

You asked for it and we made i t happen.\n\nThis week long summer event is so much fun. We stay in an old 4H camp that has two wings of bunks. Each person gets two sets of bunks w hich allows some privacy and storage of your personal items. The top bunks are never used except to put stuff on. We house approx 12 gals in each wi ng\, even though the capacity is much more.\n\nEach day we have a new adve nture. We pick different lakes to fish. This year our goal is to have gals earn a MI Master Angler Fish and submit that to the state of MI to receiv e a Master Angler Patch. We have scouted some really nice lakes. Some are new and some we have fished before.\nThe facility has a large common area/ dining room.  There is a bathroom with showers in both wings. There is a large kitchen and some of the meals are planned ahead to keep things simp le. \n\nWhen we started coming here\, it needed a lot of work. A volunteer staff has been working on improving the facility and they have been doing a great job. We used to be the only ones who rented it\, but now it is ge tting quite popular. Some other activities that are possible are kayaking fishing the Michigamme River\, Sporting Clays\, and we usually have a craf t day ready in case we have a crappy weather day.\n\nIn previous years\, m any members brought their boats and we would divide the group up and there were spots for all those that wanted to go. Much of the planning around t his depends on how many women bring their boats so much of the details are worked out based on the needs of the group. We hope to open registration soon and there will be limited spots.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n[gravityform id="80" title="true" description="true"]\n\n\n\n\n \; \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wiwomenfish.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/ 01/IMG_1951.jpg LOCATION:Camp Molinare\, 12880\, Sawyer Lake Rd\, Channing\, MI\, 53952\, U nited States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=12880\, Sawyer Lake Rd\, Ch anning\, MI\, 53952\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Camp Molina re:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:170@wiwomenfish.com DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20250719T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20250719T220000 DTSTAMP:20250514T225845Z URL:https://wiwomenfish.com/events/mille-lacs-launch-2/ SUMMARY:Mille Lacs Launch DESCRIPTION:We will board the launch (big boat) at Twin Pines Resort on Lak e Mille Lacs (Garrison\, MN) on July 19th for a 6 hour trip from 4pm to 10 pm.

DESCRIPTION:Fishing Oak Island in the NW Angle of MN is quite an adventure. It is the northernmost point in the US and there you will find the tradem ark sign marking the spot. The fishing is fantastic. Walley\, pike\, musky and a variety of species are available to target. If you want to fish ent irely in MN that is an option. If we decide to take a day and fish the Can adian waters\, we can do that also. The entire area is magnificent and the natural beauty\, wildlife\, and fishing is hard to beat. \n\nWe have  ne arly the entire resort reserved. We are here to give you support as you em bark upon this incredible adventure. The Northwest Angle of Minnesota is l ocated approximately 65 miles from either Warroad or Roseau\, Minnesota. T his 1 to 2 hour scenic drive takes you through the international boundary of the United States and Canada to Young’s Bay which is located at the N orthwest Angle. Young’s Bay Resort offers convenient parking and boat la unching facilities.  You can get a launch pass and park in the parking lo t while you are on the island. Launch fee $10. Parking $6 per day for vehi cle and trailer\, $3 per day for vehicle only. From Youngs Bay to Oak Isla nd is approximately 6 miles by boat. \n\nBorder Crossing Information
\n \nBREAKING NEWS - Some gals that do not want to cross the border are takin g the charter boat over. There is room for you!!\n\nCanada requires a vali d driver's license and birth certificate\, or a passport for proof of iden tity and citizenship. The US requires a valid passport.\n\nGenerally peopl e who bring boats drive the short trek through Canada and reenter the USA. \n\nIf you plan to drive\, it is approximately a 40 miles drive through Ca nada\, and re-entering back into the U.S. up at the Angle. There is one sm all Canadian town on the way\, which has a store to pick up any items that were left behind or were not allowed to be brought into Canada. \n\nTrav elers crossing the border at Warroad or Roseau will be stopped briefly to get cleared to enter Canada by the CBSA (Canada Border Services Agency) bo rder station. Here you and all passengers will need a Passport. Once you r e-enter the United States up at the NW Angle\, you will need to check in w ith the U.S. Customs. This is an unmanned border\, but you still need to c heck in with U.S. Customs as you entered the country from another country (Canada). You can proceed to one of the three check in stations at the Ang le or do as most travelers do\, check in at one of the many resorts that h ave a designated iPad once you arrive. This check in normally takes less t han 5 minutes from start to finish.\n\nThe Resort: \n\nWe have most of the Oak Island resort reserved. The  resort is located on the northwest side of Oak Island\, Minnesota on one of the approximately 14\,500 islands in Lake of the Woods. There our cabins await. Our boats will be parked on the docks and that will be our assigned spot for our stay. A 50 foot cord sho uld be plenty to keep your boat all charged up as there are plenty of outl ets to choose from. We will have helpers transport our gear to our cabins. The cabins have carried styles and hold a variety of people based on the layout. Here is a link to the cabin descriptions. https://oakislandresort. com/lodge-cabins-lake-of-the-woods/ We will be having in-depth conversatio ns on the members only page with those that are attending. \n\nThe Fishin g:\n\nFishing the Northwest Angle of Minnesota offers premier walleye acti on\, big pike and huge musky. The fishing is not complicated and often jig ging with minnows or trolling crankbaits along rocky points and islands in 12–31 feet of water. Colors that are effective include  gold\, glow\, or pink lures. Targeting wind blown points or targeting underwater reefs/f lats can be the trick. We will provide you with up to date tips and locati ons and we will be fishing in groups. \n\nWhat to bring:\n\n Food &\ ; Drink\n Camera (Please email your full-size fishing pictures to us)\n Clothes\, rain gear &\; hat\n Personal medications\n Personal toi letries\n First Aid Kit\n Hand soap\n Ziploc bags (if bagging your o wn fish)\n Matches &\; lighters\n Bug spray – 11% DEET or better\ n Mosquito Coils / Citronella Candles\n Sun tan lotion – 15 SPF or b etter (25 to 35 recommended)\n Fishing Gear\n Stringer\n Landing Net \n Fillet knife\n Measuring tape &\; scale\n Depth Finder\n Com pass\n Flashlight (Waterproof is best)\n\nFood:\n\nTwice we will be fed by the resort and there is a possibility of a pig roast. I am sure we will be eating lots of fish and cabins can decide if they want to share meals. A short walk to Sunset resort will provide a full service bar and restaur ant. Plan on bringing most of your food for the week. \n\nOptions besides driving across the border:\n\nSome choose to travel to the Angle across t he lake which keeps you in Minnesota and avoids crossing the border. When you travel across the lake and stay in Minnesota\, you have not entered Ca nada and do not need to clear customs upon entering the NW Angle. There ar e a number of options.\n\nBoat to the Angle aboard a charter boat. If you prefer to avoid customs\, boating across the lake on a charter boat is an option.\n\nLaunch Services. Northwest Angle

DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n 20TH ANNUAL FISH CAMP! \nTwenty years\, ladies . TWENTY YEARS OF FISH CAMP!\n\nThis is our biggest event of the year\, an d for our 20th anniversary\, we’re putting together a weekend that celeb rates exactly what WI Women Fish has always been about:\n\nLearning. Confi dence. Independence. Mentoring. Friendship. And\, of course… FISHING!\n\ nOur theme this year is “It’s So Much More Than Fishing”—and if yo u’ve ever been to Fish Camp\, you know exactly what we mean. Fish Camp i s a long weekend packed with hands-on classes\, fishing\, mentoring\, netw orking\, support\, laughter\, new friendships and probably a little bit of chaos. And this year\, we’re putting a BIG emphasis on building skills that help you become a more knowledgeable\, confident and independent angl er and boater.\n\n Some of the classes we’re working on include:\n\n S o You Want to Buy a Boat?\nWhat should you look for? What do you actually need? What questions should you ask?\n\n Trailer Maintenance\nLearn the b asics of keeping your trailer safe and ready to roll.\n\n Prop Removal\, Installation &\; Maintenance\nBecause knowing how to take your own prop off is a pretty darn empowering feeling.\n\n How to Use Your Trolling Mo tor\nMore than just ON and OFF! Learn how to actually use its features to help you fish.\n\n Dial In Your Electronics\nStop staring at that expensi ve screen wondering what the heck you’re looking at.\n\n Rod &\; Ree l Selection\nLearn what makes different rods and reels better suited for d ifferent techniques.\n\n Trailer Backing\nYES. We’re doing it. And YES\ , you can learn it.\n\n How to Drive a Boat\nBuild confidence behind the wheel in a supportive environment.\n\n Fishing Skill-Specific Classes\n\n We’ll also have classes designed to help you become a better angler and add new techniques to your fishing toolbox.\n\nAnd that’s just the begin ning! Whether you’ve been fishing for 40 years or bought your first fish ing rod last week\, Fish Camp is for you. Members of ALL skill levels ar e encouraged to attend.\n\nDon’t have a boat? That’s okay! We usuall y have plenty of boats and will work to find spots for members who don’t have one. You DO need to bring your own fishing gear.\n\nWHAT’S INCLUDE D?\n\nYour main Fish Camp ticket includes:\n\n Three nights of lodging\n  20th Annual Fish Camp event shirt\n An awesome goodie bag\n A weekend FULL of classes\n Group meal Saturday night\n Fun tournament Sunday morn ing\n And three days surrounded by some pretty incredible women\n\nWe’l l kick everything off Thursday evening at 6PM with opening ceremonies. W e ask everyone to arrive and register by 5PM so you have time to get set tled into your room before the fun begins.\n\nAnd because this is our 20TH YEAR\, you can bet we’re planning a few extra special things along the way.  Some women come to Fish Camp to learn how to fish. Some come becaus e they want to learn to back up their own trailer\, run their own boat\, u nderstand their electronics or become more independent on the water. Some come because they need a weekend with women who understand them. And some come thinking they’re just going fishing…and leave realizing it’s so much more than fishing.\n\n[gravityform id="106" title="true" description ="true" ajax="true"]\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wiwomenfish.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/ 08/1F12629B-A78D-46D8-A7AD-07D230DC63EC.png LOCATION:Donners Bay Resort\, 2974 Hiawatha Rd.\, Butternut\, WI\, 54514\, United States GEO:46.08494100000001;-90.248357 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=2974 Hiawatha Rd.\, Buttern ut\, WI\, 54514\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Donners Bay Res ort:geo:46.08494100000001,-90.248357 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Chicago X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Chicago BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20160313T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20161106T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0600 TZNAME:CST END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20170312T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20171105T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0600 TZNAME:CST END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20180311T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20181104T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0600 TZNAME:CST END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20190310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20191103T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0600 TZNAME:CST END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20200308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20201101T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0600 TZNAME:CST END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20210314T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20211107T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0600 TZNAME:CST END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20220313T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20221106T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0600 TZNAME:CST END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20230312T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20231105T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0600 TZNAME:CST END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20240310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20241103T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0600 TZNAME:CST END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20250309T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20251102T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0600 TZNAME:CST END:STANDARD BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20260308T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0600 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:CDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
