Last week one of our guests had a drone.  I was amazed at how well it worked.  Mark is a very talented drone operator, and I appreciated him showing me how a drone works.  I’m sure if I tried to use it, I would have crashed it into the bay!

The views of the lodge were fun to see.  If you didn’t know, Door County is 90% undeveloped.   Well noted with all the greenery in the background.  On the second photo, I am in the photo.  Look for the woman with the pink shirt by the pool!

We’d love to see you this season.  We still have rooms available.

Visit Plum Bottom Gallery in Egg Harbor June 12, 10 am – 4 pm, to see photographic works ranging from images of the county printed on aluminum to works created through fractal photography.

Photographers Paul and Lisa Schultz hope to inspire viewers of their work to appreciate the natural beauty surrounding them. Mixed-media artist Lori Reed starts every piece with a photograph, edits it in Photoshop, prints it and then cuts it into strips that form her works of art.  Carol Pflughoeft makes distinctive images using fractal photography: a time-consuming process that uses multiple layers of images, fractals and colors to represent life’s complex interactions.

This is a very special weekend for fishing.  It’s Wisconsin’s annual Free Fishing Weekend (June 5 and 6).   More than 90,000 state residents purchased fishing licenses last year, joining nearly 1.4 million returning tourists 16 and older.  In case you wonder why there aren’t any kids 15 years and younger, they don’t need a fishing license to fish.  

I few things you need to know before heading out for the “big one”.  Smallmouth bass fishing is catch-and-release until June 19 in Ahnapee, Kewaunee and Mink Rivers, plus in all other Lake Michigan tributaries north of Highway 29.  Smallmouth may not be kept until July 1 in all waters within a quarter mile of all islands in the Town of Washington Island.

Muskie fishing season opened in Green Bay and Lake Michigan on May 29, with a one-fish, 54 inch minimum size limit.  Yellow perch fishing is closed on Lake Michigan and tributaries such as the Ahnapee River until June 16.  Perch fishing officially reopened on May 20 on Green Bay.

Have fun this weekend!
