I recently returned from four days of pike and walleye fishing at Dunlop's Fly-In Lodge in Northern Manitoba. Dunlop's is a new lodge run by Jerry Dunlop and Kip Merke and their families on Lake Waskaiowaka, north of Thompson, Manitoba. Dunlop (pictured above) and Merke are young but experienced guides, and we'd heard reports that a lot of big fish were being caught in their camp. We decided to find out for ourselves.
