TESTIMONIALS

"Sam, Great time was had by all on Little Bolton. Here is a picture of the 42" pike I caught. The sun had just come out around 6:30 p.m. My brother and I were trolling around an island when we saw fish feeding in he shallows. We eased in closer and I thew a bright green lazy ike toward the comotion. As soon as the lure hit the water and I barley took a turn on the reel, this monster gobbled it up. The fight was awesome! Minutes before I caught this northern, our party had caught two 34"+ Northerns in a bay leading around the island. We had five days of fishing heaven! We often waited unitl we headed back to camp before keeping the fish we were going to eat. Literally, it only took a few minutes before we were able to catch the walleye we were to prepare for shore lunch. Wonderful time. I hope we can get back again."
John Clark


"Sam: I have been going to Northern Manitoba for 25 years. My trip to Molson July 1-8, this year was my best ever for walleye. The food was top drawer. Guides and shore lunch number one. Kitchen staff subperb. Hope to see you next year."
Cec Pringle


"We loved our time away at Max Lake. The 44 inch Northern Pike, the Northern Lights and the Loons made us feel that there is nothing better for getting away from it all than the deep woods of Manitoba, Canada. Thank you for providing us with a place and an experience that will not be forgotten. We will be back."
Chris Collier

Thanks to everyone……the cooks, guides, and the ladies that wait on the tables and clean the rooms…….everyone at your camp adds to an experience that can’t be beat! God willing we’ll see you again in 2010."

"Branden and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Molson Lake Lodge. Sunday was our best day with over 100 walleyes and 2 master anglers, but Branden's favorite fish was this huge Northern. Sam and the crew did a great job. Our guide was the absolute best guide I have ever had for any hunting or fishing adventure. He communicated exceptionally well, shared his lures when ours were the wrong color, did a great job with shore lunch, and got us into fish. He also had a good sense of humor and made my grandson, Branden Scheel (below-right), feel special. We'll be back."
Steve Scheel


"Sam, Here is a picture of my first master angler Walleye ever. I have never fished in July at Molson's before. the walleye were consistantly bigger. I had the good fortune of catching 3 masters in one morning. The largest was 28.5 inches. My guide was Doc and he knew where and how to get the job done. I have in the past and again this year caught a master angler pike in early June at Max. We brought my god son, age 10 up to Molson's for the first time on this trip and caught many lake trout as well. I will send a picture of my master angler pike in a few days as well. Keep up the good work and we hope to continue visiting Molson's in the future."

"Sam- This fatty is 42", approximately 30lbs according to Matthew! Dan & I truly enjoyed your hospitality. Great fishing...and food too! Look forward to seeing you again."
Lou Williott


"Sam, I've got quite a few photos for ya from our trip in June.  We had a great time, and this was my second consecutive trip for being a 5-time Master Angler!  (This time, all walleyes!)  We've never had walleye fishing this good, and we've been coming for quite some time."
Kevin Pike


"I caught this 42” at Max Lake a couple weeks ago.We had a great time.  The outpost was the nicest I’ve been to in 3 trips."
Anthony Hammack


"Sam & Lyle,
Once again we had a great fishing trip at Molson Lake.  In one evening of night fishing, Geoff Pawlikowski (below-right) caught these two master angler walleye.  Thanks for all the good times."

Allan Pawlikowski


"Facilities were great this year and most of our group repeating, thought the fishing was best ever."
Pete Lee


"Hi Sam, Here is the picture of my 47.25” .Catching a fish like this was truly an experience to remember. I caught it on a large Bucktail, after about a fifteen minute battle to get it close to the boat she spit out the lure.  Cowboy our guide, Tom Somenske my partner, and I just stood there in silence looking at this beautiful fish lying in the water.  With the lure one foot away from her mouth, I pushed the release button on my reel and let the lure sink.  Suddenly she bent in half like a horse shoe and hammered the lure again! The next thing you know Cowboy was leaning way to far out of the boat with the net on one side and I was leaning way to far out of the boat on the other side pulling the fish toward the net mean while Tom was picking himself up from the bottom of the boat encouraging us to do well (three guys changing position in one boat that fast was tricky!) Finally she was in.  We were all truly exhausted. After we thought that nothing could top that adventure Cowboy said come on boys there’s fish to catch here! Wouldn’t you know Tom came close by catching two more Masters with in a half an hour! Thank you and to all that made this trip happen!"

“Lyle, We all had a great time, and look forward to future years there. Melanie continues to remind me of her advanced fishing skills. Sam.. Avery and all the staff were a pleasure to be around.”
Dean Alfonso & Melanie Berube


"Lyle - first, 2008 was a fantastic fishing trip for Mary and me. The best I've experienced in Canada...and I've been going fishing up north annually for the past 20 years. Molson Lake Lodge far exceeded my expectations. Thanks for a wonderful time.I want you to know that for some reason the trip to Molson Lodge enabled me to feel real joy that I haven't felt since I was a kid running around in Chicago. I have to thank you, Dianne, Sam, Avery, the staff, the fish, Doc (Bob) and Gordon, and last but not least Mary for that joy.I wish you all the best."
Doug Danneman


"Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to ensure each person will have a great time on the water and at the lodge."
Kyle Kramer


"Thanks again for a great trip.  Besides the fishing, we were impressed with the cabins, staff, boats, transportation in and out of the lodge.....the overall experience.  Cowboy was an exceptional guide....very accomodating and fun."
MJ Gdanski


"Sam, Max Lake is starting to feel like a second home to us. We have been blessed to be able to fish at Molson and Max since 1997. Two first timers Mark McAfee (below left) and Darrell Stiener (below right) both had a great time. Mark caught a 41.5” northern that was the heaviest I have ever seen in 11 years. Darrell was a Trout catching machine. He landed more than 40 trout on our last day, including a nice 32” fish. Really looking forward to next June’s trip that will include at least two more new guys. Thanks again for your great hospitality."
Ed Hammersmith


"The addition of Logan Lake opened up a whole new dimension to the trip this year, and it was a nice new place to explore from the south cabin at Max. As always, the cabins were well equipped and Leon and Ruby took great care of us. We've tried a few other outfitters over the years, but we keep coming back to the Molson outposts for the great fishing and facilities."
Mike Ward


”Andrew & I had a great trip. Our guide, Lawrence, was great with us amateur fishermen! Your cooks and staff were friendly and efficient.”
Kent Miller


“We ended up catching 18 masters, 1496 total pike. Craig got the largest at 48.5 inches and over 40 pounds.“
Duane Cain


“I caught this fish on Logan late in the day on a 3/8 oz. Spinner bait. This was my second year in a row fishing out of Max and they both have been outstanding. My fishing partner and I had an awesome day on Logan. Before catching this fish, we caught and released over 200 fish..., Awesome! This was my largest Northern so far and I was so excited I almost forgot to get a picture after removing her from the net and measuring. Best day on a lake ever!!”
Tom Martin


“We had a great time! The memories will last a lifetime!”
Olaf Stanton


“This was my 35th or 36th trip to Manitoba and never before had I ever caught 5 Master Angler Walleyes in a week.” “The ”Flying Fishermen” wish to thank you and everyone at Molson Lake Lodge for one of the best fishing trips we have ever had. The fishing was great, the accommodations were great, the food was great, the boats were great, the service was the best and most of all the guides made our trip an absolute joy and very successful."
Wilson Born


“Truly a trip of a lifetime!” Doc, our guide, kept us on top of the fish and we fished hard. It paid off with plenty of quality fish. The staff and guides treated us as if we were the most important people ever there. The facilities and food were excellent. I gained 10 lbs just from shore lunch! I’ll be back.”
Larry Schaapveld


“Thanks again, for making our stay the kind great memories are made of!”
Corinne Distel


“After many trips to Molson Lake this was my first Master Angler on the big lake, which is testimony for the catch & release program. This was the first trip to Molson for my three fishing partners and they haven’t stopped talking about it yet. We had to work for the Walleye, but still caught plenty; Northern fishing was steady with a number of them in the 33-35” range and we slammed the Lake Trout. The guides and food were up to your usaul excellent standards and the new cabins and lodge are great. Can’t wait to return.”
Joe Gobeille


“This was my first trip to Molson Lake. The staff, guides, and food were as good as you can get. Royal treatment and a bonus of a 28 inch Walleye made my trip complete.”
Arnold Cerny


"Had a great time at Little Bolton, it was beautiful. Wish I could have spent the entire summer there!"
Mike Subastian


"I was up last week with the Bruce Bowles group at Little Lake Bolton. This was my 3rd trip to Molson, but first ever at an outpost camp. Easily the best “pure” fishing trip I have ever had. We caught 30+ fish over 30 inches, and 8 between 37” – 42. I didn’t think I could top my last salmon trip to Alaska, but the action on Little Lake Bolton was extreme, we totaled 617 fish in 4 ½ days. Take that Alaska!"
Ken Allen


“The camp was well equipped and the boats and motors all ran great. In 17 years of fishing Canada this was one of the best!! All credit goes to your well run operation. I’ll be back next year."
Gary Hardt


"In August we stayed at the north camp on Max Lake.  4 out of 5 of us had never been fishing in Manitoba and it was an experience of a life time.  We were able to catch 3 master angler fish and several 35'+ fish.  The weather was great.  The accommodations were great for an outpost that was 70 miles from anything.  We really want to try and get back.  Members of the group:  Bruce Brantley, Jeremy Curran, Blair Mcbride, Kevin Colvin, and Dave Pack.   Thanks for everything."
Kevin Colvin


“I was fishing with the Valley View group on June 27th, and caught this 41 in. Northern on the fly. I also caught a 35 1/2, 36 1/2, and 37 1/2 in. Pike on the fly, as well. What a day! Thanks for a great memory.”
Ron Sokol


“I had another fun year fishing with the Valley View group. The fishing was excellent. I caught a 29 in. Walleye while being guided by the ”award winning” Cowboy. Thanks Molson for the memories!”
Tom Voss


"What an experience! Our group of six caught a total of four trophy size Pike and numerous Walleye approaching trophy size. We had great time and thoroughly enjoyed the total experience from the time we left home until we returned. Everything went like clock work from the time we were picked up at the hotel until we were retuned to the airport for the return trip home. The facilities, staff, food, lodging, guides, and transportation exceeded our expectations. Your role as the host was great and we really enjoyed the whole experience. And yes, we plan to return."
Arnold King


"Our Valley View group has been coming since 1980 and Molson is "Truly and Action Lake". The staff have always gone out of their way, making the trip so exceptional."
Howard Rynberk


"Thanks again for the wonderful time. We tried to decide which was better---the 100+ Walleye in two hours, the 2 Master Angler Northern's caught on the last day or the wonderful service we received from the guide and staff members. We found it difficult to make a choice so we'll come back and do it again."
Frank & Barb Vert


“I have enjoyed the outpost experience at "Little Bolton" with the Johnson group from Marshalltown, IA for the last five years. We look forward to coming back up there all year long. If you have a group of friends who enjoy the outdoors, fishing, wildlife and having a great time, You have to go on an "Outpost Adventure" at Molson Lake Lodge. Great fishing - plentiful walleye and trophy northerns.”
Pat Prier


“I haved fished a lot of Canadian lakes over the years, but none so productive as Little Bolton this past July. Our group landed 4 Northerns that measured 41” and over. The biggest was 44”. This was my first trophy at 41” and we caught LOTS in the 35” to 40” range. Walleye were plentiful and caught on the same lures as Northerns. We look forward to returning next year.”
