I grew up visiting Minnewawa lodge numerous times every summer. My dad (Chris Jensen) was a bricklayer in Bloomington, Minnesota, and maybe 5-6 times a summer we would pack up the car and head “up north”. Fred Potthoff taught me how to fish and would guide us when he had time. Later, Fritz would take us out for crappie and bass. I occasionally have a chuckle remembering Fred in our boat wearing some Woolrich wool pants and a wool shirt in the summer. My dad would reach into his tackle box and pull out a bottle of Four Roses bourben as a little treat for the two of them. I understand that the dock leading to the island is no longer there. What a shame. Anyway, my wife and I are going up to the resort this summer (Nature Link) . Give me a chance to remember all of the good times at the lodge.
