Another great day of fishing for Craig Pickering of Barrie, Ontario. This beautiful golden Walleye was the prize catch of Craig's holiday! After a photo session and a kiss, this prime breeder was released back into the waters of Little Marten Lake. Looking on is Craig's nephew Jared Edwards, as Craig proudly holds his catch. It's through conservation-minded anglers like Craig that the fisheries are able to be sustained to keep the waters populated for the sport fishing enthusiast. Thanks Craig for sharing this with us! 

Never a dull moment! Here granddaughter Rachel puts the finishing touches on the new picnic tables. Grampa Albert and Rachel spent 2 days making and painting about 14 of these tables to place around the camp. With the fantastic summer weather we have had, taking meals 'al fresco' has been a great pleasure for our guests.
 

Rachel and Grampa Albert proudly display their evening catch of Walleye. They kept only what would be enough for a tasty meal.  

Well what a day it was for Lance Default and his Dad, Tracy from Angus, Ontario. This stringer of Walleye and Smallies is proudly displayed and it wasn't long before these tasty fish were on the table! Lance's service dog, Otter, is always by his side, and the fishing trip was no exception. Way to go Lance and Tracy! Fish on!! 

This year's winner of the L'il Angler award in the Beaverland Big Bass Derby held each July is Gunnar Stidham of Shreve, Ohio. Here Gunnar proudly holds his winning Smallmouth Bass caught in the Marten. The Big Angler award went to Rob Scott. A special award for the smallest angler with the smallest Bass, live released, went to Hunter Kirsch. Guests also had a great Barbecue supper and were treated to a giant fireworks display to celebrate Canada Day and Independence Day for our Canadian and American guests and friends. Congratulations to all the winners and thanks to all who participated.
