Greetings!
We've been blessed with early significant snow. As I write this there is actually more snow coming down. Nice big flakes. Everything outside is white and by Thanksgiving we'll have a low of zero degrees so we'll be making some good ice as well.
The Ely Timberwolves Ski Teams have been out practicing and some of us braved the last few hours of deer season yesterday when the snow was so fresh and nice and hit some local loops.
Tis the season to get tons of Email offers. Some for things you want and many for things you don't. We're offering you a few ways to get free standard shipping and get a discount on our Piragis brand clothing. Scroll down for details.
It is beautiful here in Ely, we hope to see you soon!

Winter Visitants Arrive in Ely!
Lots of critters leave Ely for the winter and head "south". These include summer home residents, snow birds, tourists, paddlers and plenty of real birds. Believe it or not some birds come south to spend the winter in Ely! During October some of the first winter visitants to arrive are the beautiful Bohemian Waxwings. They replace their smaller cousins the Cedar Waxwings who spend their summers here and then head south to warmer climes during the winter months. They feed on the mountain ash trees both ornamental and native as well as crab apples trees planted in Ely. By November we start to hear the quiet call notes of Pine Grosbeaks. They have nested north of us in Canada and arrive in Ely to feast on the seeds of pine and deciduous trees. Read the rest of this story on our Blog Here. |

Great Service! Personal Attention!
"First class service is what we experienced using your outfitting services. We enjoyed the two Seliga canoes and Kevlar paddles we rented.
The wood trim on the canoe will never allow me to return to the aluminum trim days. The quietness of the canoe during fishing was outstanding. Also the paddles were a real treat.
We have used a number of other outfitters in the Ely area, but will definitely return to you for our future trips out of the Ely area. The use of brand new canoes is always a treat. Although putting the first couple of surface scratches on the craft makes me cringe.
We also really appreciated the 10-minutes of time that Bert spent giving us advise about portages and campsites that were on our route. They came in very helpful. Between the four people in our group, we were able to recall virtually every tip Bert told us about the route. We had complete solitude on Stuart Lake and Iron Lake for three days, after that we stayed in Tiger Bay with everyone else in the world.
Last night was on Agnes, we stayed on the immediate right site as we come out of the portage from Boulder River. It was great and we had plenty of fishing luck from shore in the evening. Can't wait until our next trip, and we look forward to seeing the service we had on this past trip.
See you soon," Jason Femrite
