"In 1999 we found the perfect place to start our life together, 'our honeymoon'. The owners of Michel Lodge were able to provide us with the comforts of home along with all the extras. We were treated like friends or family members, not just clients. We had a great time fishing and visiting, but we were still allowed to have the privacy needed for that special time and special moment. We will be back for the enjoyment for years to come."

"I have had great hunting success in the Doré area, and have found the accomodations at Michel Lodge to be the best. I would recommend this facility to anyone"
Morris Bidart, (Saskatchewan)

"We first came to Michel Lodge about 4 years ago and like most people we were looking for a good place to go fishing. We have been coming back every spring and fall, but now it's because of Wayne and Kathy and the great times we have had.
Michel Lodge is our sime-annual guys' weekend away. Kathy cooks great meals, no on e goes hungry and everyone can't wait for the next dinner bell. In the morning we just get up, eat and go fish all day. When we come home, Wayne and Kathy fillet the fish while we hoist a few, play horse shoes and when the bell rings we go eat another good meal. Evenings are spent at the firepit with a few more cold ones and telling lies (because we're fishermen).
We still come up to go fishing, but we come back here to Michel Lodge because of the great times and good memories had. If anyone comes where we're there, you're welcome to join us at the fire."

"Look at that pike. We really learned a lot about fishing with Wayne as a guide and we made a very wise decision to ask him to guide us otherwise we wouldn't have catched anything."

"After a day of fishing Peter and Kurt really needed a rest and exchange their new expierences. They both go fishing - Peter now in Alberta and Kurt in Germany, Denmark and Norway but at Michel lodge it was quite a difference. We really enjoyed it."

"Kurt and Jenny, Peter and Brigitte would like to thank you Kathy and Wayne for all their efforts and making our fishing trip really pleasant. We girls wanted to go shopping but your place is almost like 'Fly-in-fishing'. So, we took a few walks around and appreciated nature."
Peter & Brigitte Wallwitz (Germany)

"Thank you so much for the lovely vacation we had at Michel Lodge! The atmosphere of serenity and peace was the perfect escape from city chaos. The fishing was amazing; even before we left Jim had assured me that we would ahve a wonderful time but his words wrere an understatement. The few extra pounds I took home, not in fish or laundry, was well worth my enjoyment of the homemade goodness! Your guiding and knowledge of Doré Lake made going out on our own worth while. Thanks again for a successful fishing adventure and I know, rain or shine, we will have just as much of a good time next year. "
Kristie, Jim and James Woodford
