Paul Meleen and his friends have offered a 3 night stay at the Lodge with 2 days of fishing excursions to show appreciation to veterans for their sacrifice and service. This event has provided support to Veterans for 13 years creating opportunities for new experiences to veterans who enjoy the outdoors.

Excursions include: Salmon, Bass, and Walleye fishing trips

Guidelines:

  • Respect the business- Paul is able to support us so generously because of his business; please do not disturb paying guests.
  • Respect the staff and volunteers- They are volunteering their time, energy, and resources to give you an outstanding experience; show them your appreciation.
  • No guarantees – these are outdoor events and will be weather dependent
    Tip Salmon first mates- they live off their tips, we appreciate them and the boat Captains can’t do it without them
  • Tip staff including bartenders, waitresses, and maids- this is their job, be respectful.
  • Show up for your event- this event is limited and you were chosen, so please make the most of your time with us
