Picture yourself on a Northern Minnesota Fishing lake with hundreds of miles of pristine shoreline, an endless sky of dazzling stars, a comfortable cabin nestled in the majestic Northwoods. The only morning alarm is the call of the loon and your own eagerness to hit the water! That's what you'll experience at Bowen Lodge on Lakes Winnibigoshish and Cutfoot Sioux, known here in Deer River as "Big Winnie" and "Cutfoot".

It’s a time for your family. The kids, the grandparents, for friends old and new. A time to explore a special Minnesota vacationland; A land of fishing, swimming, canoeing and walleye shore lunches.

Bowen Lodge opened as a Walleye and Pike fishing camp on Lake Winnie and Cutfoot Sioux in 1930 by Herb and Jessie Bowen. Since its humble beginnings, the resort has seen many years of improvements in comfort and accessibility.

Bowen's has become an established fishing and family resort destination for generations of people. Although now a modern and comfortable resort, we still maintain an atmosphere of Minnesota wilderness, complete with blue-ribbon fishing opportunities. Throughout the years, many have known us as their one and only Lake Winnibigosh and Cutfoot Sioux get-away in the Northland.

The ice was mostly out for the Minnesota Walleye Opener and fishing was good for folks who fished on Lake Winnie where the larger females were the main attraction this weekend. Lots of large fish on both Winnibigosh and Cutfoot were caught. mostly fish in the protected slot ranging in size from 17 to 20 inches with a smattering of larger ones and a handful of keepers for most folks.
There were some anglers who found schools of smaller fish that were still in "spawning mode". As predicted, once you find the males, there is a lot of action because they're feeding fairly heavily, but at the same time, they refuse to leave the shallow gravel areas where the instinct to spawn is still strong. In other words, once you find them you have them pinned down.
