Rain or shine, the French River never disappoints.

Just a father and son clearing out the water and making memories at Bear's Den Lodge. From double pike hooks to heavy largemouths, this is what a perfect getaway looks like.

Shoutout and a big thank you to Tommy Lipowski for capturing these awesome moments!

Some groups feel like family the moment they arrive — and the Wolfinger crew is one of them.
Sandy, Mike, Kevin, and Pierrce wrapped up another unforgettable week on the French River, filled with calm mornings, great laughs, and plenty of fish stories to take home.

As Sandy put it:
“June 13, end of a great week. Good weather, good fishing and good company.”

And they weren’t kidding about the fishing.
For Sandy and Mike alone:

211 fish for the week

85 Northern Pike

83 Bass

20 Walleye

23 perch, sunnies, and rock bass

From sunset walleye to classic French River pike, these moments are what make their annual trip so special — and we’re grateful to be part of their tradition.

Here’s to the 12th year of memories, friendship, and fish on the line.
Thank you, Wolfinger group — you make Bear’s Den Lodge feel like home.
