The pine lodge on clear is decent but I would recommend Opinicon Lodge on Chaffey's lock. Great place, great service, brown's marina right by if you need anything. Been staying there for the past 10 years. Before that it was pritchard's cabins on newboro. I would avoid sterling lodge.

One of the best things I do is i get two walk the dog baits. Use 2 zara spooks, one large (in the rear) and one smal...
