Sunset Lodge Trophy Policy
At Sunset Lodge we respectfully ask guests to recognize that trophy fish produce the spawn responsible for restocking the lake system. As such, guests are to practice Catch, Photo and Release on any trophy size fish. All of the fish we have shown you were released. CPR will help to ensure great sport fishing for years to come. If you want to have your trophy mounted we recommend having a Replica made.
Our Policy for “fry fish” is that no Walleye over 18” as well as no northern over 27.5” are to be kept for consumption.
