What’s new in 2008?

Our website now has a new Big Bass Page. If you catch a Big Bass during your stay with us, please send the photo to doug@whisperwoodlodge.com and we will post it on the website. New fish photo’s will be posted and displayed under the fish icon for the month it was caught.  Five, six & seven pound fish will also be displayed under the icons for the Big Fish Club.  When sending your fish photos, please list: when it was caught, the length and weight of the fish and the name of person who caught the fish.  Now that we have free wireless internet access here at Whisperwood, it is possible that we could have your photo posted on the web before you leave.  Be sure to check out our Big Bass Page when you get a chance!   

Our website now has a new Wildlife Page. And, we are not talking about some of the people that stay with us! On the wildlife page you will find photo’s taken by our guests of birds and wildlife found around the lake and at Whisperwood. Wildlife like the Ospreys with the nest in our cove or the Great Blue Heron with the nest located across the cove from our dock or the Eagles that nest in the big pine tree on Birch Point and of course we can’t forget the photos of all the loons that roam the two lakes.  Please check out the new Wildlife Page on our web site.     

Rental Boat up-grades, Boats #’s 11,12,13,14 will now have stern mounted electric trolling motors and automatic bilge pumps as standard equipment. Boats #’s 15 & 16 already have these items as standard equipment.  Rental Boat rates have change from last year. Please go to our website and click on the boating icon to view all the boats with their options and the 2008 rental rates. 

Changes to our pet policy.  If you are planning on bringing your pet, please go on line to our website, click on the rates page. Pet information can be found at the bottom of the Rates page.  Click on pet policy and review all information.  Our Insurance Policy prohibits us from accepting certain breeds of dogs, the list of unacceptable dog breeds is listed on the pet policy. There  will be a $10.00 per day per pet fee.   

We have a new camp fire area down at the water front. We installed a new fire ring set inside a stone platform with new seating all the way around it.  The improvements  should make for some enjoyable evenings down by the lake.   

Free Fishing Day- To promote fishing, The State of Maine offers free fishing on May 31st and June 1st - No Fishing License Required.  All other Laws & Regulations apply.

An up-date from our last newsletter, Our son Cameron is now home in the states after 16 months of deployment in Afghanistan. He is at his home at Fort Drum with the U.S. Army’s 10th Mountain Division, in Watertown, New York.  He could not get home for Christmas, but we did get a chance to drive out and spend the New Years Holiday with him and our daughter-in-law Renee and our grandson Sean.  God bless your troops and their families!  

Another family blessing - Our son James and daughter-in-law Morgan gave us our first grand-daughter on Valentines Day 2007. Her name is Kylie.

Our son Kegan is now in his first year at the University of Maine and enjoys being a member on the football team.  Mickee is now a freshman in high school.  AND, yes we do know, that some of you still see her as the little seven year old girl that was always around to greet you in the dining room, during our first year at Whisperwood.
