Season Greetings from Meline's Lodge!

The staff of Melines Lodge would like to wish all our guests a very Happy Holiday Season and All The Best in 2012.   We would also like take this opportunity to thank everyone who joined us at Meline's Lodge over the 2011 season.
 
2011 was our best fishing year to date.  Our guests landed 27% more walleye, which were, 28 inches or bigger.   John Goedders landed the biggest walleye of 2011 with a 31.5 incher.  Our guests also landed 246 muskies in 2011 at an average size of 43.25 inches!  Alice Harris landed a 21.5 inch Largemouth Bass. Our fall hunters also had some huge whitetails in 2011.  Now going into our 7th season, I feel more confident in delivering our fishing and hunting packages.  I can't get photos from all our guests but I will have all the 2011 photos I do have on our website by the end of the year.

Nate Berg from Babe Winkleman Productions produced a musky video for the lodge which can be seen on YouTube.

I want to let all our guests know there will be a 5% increase in our rates for 2012 due to the rising costs gas, propane etc.   This will take effect February 1st/2012.   This price increase will especially affect larger groups or guests staying for longer vacations.   There will be a substantial savings in making your reservations before Feb 1st, so please make your reservations a.s.a.p. to take advantage of 2011 rates.

We are now able to process Visa and Master Card sales, please talk to Cathy about paying with your Visa or Master Card.
