We Provide Top Quality Fishing Boats and Motors
Mike (our new owner at Garden Island) feels strongly that in order to do their best fishing our guests need comfortable efficient top quality fishing boats to get the job done. At Garden Island our guests are supplied with custom rigged 16.5 ft. Lund Rebel tiller model boats:
- 25hp electric start engine
- padded pedestal swivel seats
- flat non-slip floor covering
- raised front casting deck
- illuminated automatic live well
- bilge pump
- storage compartments
- landing nets
- catch and release cradles
- Humminbird fish finder with temperature read out
- running lights
- measuring stick at gunnel
- life jackets, flashlight and anchor
- extra compartment for your shore lunch kit so it's out of the way while you are fishing
- prop insurance highly recommended (optional)
- extra battery for electric trolling motor (optional)
Our boats were all repowered in 2019 and then structurally rebuilt from the under-flooring up in 2020. Each boat is cleaned and refueled every evening in order to be prepared for your next morning's fishing. Also each morning we warm up the motors and our crew dries the dew off the seats before you have even finished your breakfast at the lodge's dining room. We feel like catching fish is a lot more fun when you do it in a top quality boat tended by a conscientious crew.
Guests can also bring their own fishing boat if desired. Lady Evelyn Lake has a service providing a truck at the base of the dam that will transport your boat to the lake above the dam. Please call or email us for complete instructions about bringing your own boat. We are currently working on a separate website page with pictures and full instructions including directions for the boat trip from the landing to our island.
