We fished extensively last week and encountered some challenging conditions due to wind and weather; nonetheless, the fishing results were good .
If your in the area check out Odell Lake Resort on the East End there food and service exceeded our expectations. Their ribeye steak was truly outstanding, thanks to the culinary skills of Bruce and Amy. Meanwhile, Liz and Gina demonstrated exceptional professionalism in handling customer needs. If you're fishing nearby, do consider stopping by for a meal.
