Fishing on Deer Lake


Michael Semon and his son Christian took a few days out of their busy schedule of summer school and conferences to spend some quiet time at Clearwater Lodge. They stayed upstairs in the lodge and were off fishing most days before breakfast, returning for a hot breakfast and then heading back out.

They are primarily fishing catch and release but decided that the first fish they hooked would be dinner and the rest catch and release. Christian caught the first fish on one of his first casts on Deer Lake.

The Semon's brought us several jars of homemade pickles that Christian and Michael canned. We got to sample bread and butter pickles and garlic dill pickles. We introduced Lily to the concept of home canned pickles. These pickles are going fast. I carried them back into the lodge kitchen where Lily and Tori were then the boys came in and we opened all the jars and starting sampling. What a refreshing treat to have. Thanks for thinking of us!
