Thumbs up Anglers Fishing Tours Cold Lake

Yesterday my wife and I had the privilege of hanging out on Cold Lake with Kim Grey. Kim is a very humble and knowledgeable guide for this lake. Nice to be on a pontoon boat that provides ample room to two step if required with a laker or two. We had a few laughs for sure regarding the laker two step.... Little secret that his Anglers Bait Tackle & More shop is very well stocked with minnows, leaches etc even during this shortage....I got stocked up for eyes...Highly recommend checking Kim's outfit out if you wanting a comfortable time on a truly great lake... and if you need a place to hang your hat for a few days Evergreen Birch Lodge could accommodate accordingly.

Now I gotta get some yak time for eyes.....

Fantastic place for bait and last minute laker tackle. Cant speak highly enough of Kim either, one of my downriggers decided to not work the night before our trip a week ago. Kim was kind enough to loan me one of his spares for the day so we had 2 riggers instead of just one.

I gotta admit the complete setup is very impressive...a lot of great people who work extremely hard for their customers/clients.

Stopped in at Kim’s bait and tackle shop today, had a little visit, definitely worth the 5 minute detour. Friendly fella to talk to and as mentioned he’s a wealth of knowledge for tips on cold lake.

Thanks Kim, and 58thecat for the heads up.

Kim is a Champ. Known him for years and he's always been a wicked guy to talk to and deal with. I try and stop in to see him every time I'm up there.

We will be down there on the 31st for a few day ......... will definitely stop by and see his shop .......... it's important for all of us to support the local guys - particularly when they are recommended by other members.

Will need minnows to try and find some walleye .......
