Toledo Bend May Fishing Forcast – Lake Havasu

Going into May the lake is about 8ft below high pool and it looks like unless we have a real gully washer it will continue to drop. In the summer we can lose a half- inch or more a day through evaporation plus the amount of water that is released at the dam. No telling how low the lake may get.

Crazy Bear Lodge is Back – Lake Havasu

Crazy Bear Lodge is Back – Lake Havasu

As the new owners and operators of Crazy Bear Lodge we would like to offer you our warmest greetings.  After enduring a devastating fire that nearly swallowed the lodge whole, Crazy Bear is stronger than ever.  We were very fortunate to escape without any damage, mostly in part to the fact the fire fighters were using the lodge as there home base to fight the enormous fire.  This allowed the crews to fend of the fire from our infamous rock and save Crazy Bear for the next generation of fisherman.  We allowed a couple years for the trees to recover and for the new growth to appear.  The recovery has been incredible and therefore we are taking select groups for the 2011 summer season.  Dedicated to the outdoors our team own 2 other fishing lodges in BC.  In the fall you will find us on the banks of the Bulkley River battling wild steelhead (you can learn more about this operation here).  The rest of the year we are attacking salmon and steelhead in the remote waters of the Queen Charlotte Islands (for more in click here)
