Emmitt is my nephew/godson and is 12 years old and he LOVES to fish. His dream has always been to fish Lake Of The Woods.
Today he caught perch, his first ever sauger, a personal best 23 inch walleye and was the “Assistant” of Nolan’s when they got a 40 inch Muskie on LOW right outside of Sunset Lodge.
Many of you know that Nolan works up there, and it truly is one of the most beautiful resorts, with the best fishing, the most amazing food, and the friendliness staff that you will ever meet. When you are up there they truly treat you like family (even when you are not.)
I personally don’t know a 12 year old kid that knows as much about fishing as this kid, and I know for a fact that any fishing guide out there would take him fishing. . . And invite him back any time. He is kind, respectful, knowledgeable, and just an all right amazing kid. I’m sure that he will go to bed smiling (he hasn’t stopped all day) and will be ready to put the pole in the water first thing in the morning.

​"Our first trip to Sunset Lodge was a hit, we are planning our next trip now.
Nolan and Spike were the best, and dock service was fantastic.
Enjoyed sharing conversation and a bit of our fish fry with Ronnie.
We asked, and got good and honest advice on fishing the area as we were learning a new part of the lake which we had never been.
Beautiful setting and relaxing, loved the resort.
We had a great time!"
