UPDATE: 11/02/2009... Anyone?... Anyone at all? Come on off it. Someone out there has to know something... anything at all. Tid bit? Tim bit? Morsel? Crumb? Smidgen? Help us out here. And please, don't make me beg... oh wait....
I have received a couple emails of late asking me about the availability of lots at Fawcett Lake. Although it is my second home, I don't keep up with all the goings on or the politics. I know that there are lots at Broken Paddle that should be for sale but have been held up by the county for one reason after another. Anyone know what the latest is on this?
Anyone out here that can inform us as to what the status is at Fawcett Lake Resort and how their "renovation" is going and when they will be back up and running?
Are there any year round lots available for next spring at The Anchor Inn over at the west end of the lake?
Inquiring minds would like to know.
If you can answer these and many other questions regarding Fawcett Lake.... simply click on the "Tall tales (your comments)" and let us know. If that does not work for you, you can always email me at ... fawcettlake at gmail.com and I will post the information here in the near future.
Thanking you all for you help in advance
Tim

May Long 2008
The ice is all gone but the water temp is below normal for this time of year. It was not a pleasant experience wading out, putting in the boat hoists and docks, even wearing chest waders.
I did manage to get in a bit of fishing after the work was all done. I covered a lot of territory from the east end by Fawcette lake resort, I tried all along the north shore west past Birch Island where I then crossed over to the south shore. I then fished my way back east. I trolled a bit with Wally divers. Stopping at some of the better points and tried a jig and minnow/leech at times. The minnows out did the leeches by far. The action was sparse to say the least. Two small Walleyes around 14 inches, and several small Northerns, most under 24 inches.
There was no shortage of debris floating all over the lake after the nasty winds on Sunday, but that is not far from the norm at Fawcett Lake.
I do have a bit of a beef with some ice fisher person. I lied, it is a huge beef. As I pulled up to one of my favorite spots on the lake, I found a broken lawn chair, a destroyed pop up ice fishing tent, what was left of a cooler and numerous beverage containers. All apparently left behind by some out doors "enthusiast" who could not be bothered to remove their own garbage from the lake area. Who ever you are, you will be happy to know that I loaded it all into my boat and took it all to the Smith dump where it belongs. I'll be keeping the couple of dollars I get for the cans and bottles for my efforts. May you never catch another fish in your lifetime!
On that same note... The loggers have been busy clear cutting all along the Paul Lake/Old Dump roads. Some "nice people" have decided that this area now makes a great dump. Give your heads a shake people. Quit being so flipping lazy and take your garbage to a proper dump. It is only 17 miles down the road after all. I am getting tired of cleaning up after your lazy asses. Unlike some people, I want this area to remain the wonderful natural area that is is supposed to be. An area I can go out to and enjoy seeing wild life and beautiful scenery. Again people, give your heads a shake and hope that I never see you doing this, as I will report you without hesitation. It is disgusting what you are doing to such a wonderful place.
Changing the topic... It appears that Fawcett Lake Resort is closed. I have yet to find out for how long. Rumor has it, it will be for a year or two while they revamp all the lots which will then be sold in what might be described as a "condo" based idea. You will "own" the lot but will still pay a fee for upkeep of the common area's. Or at least that is how I understand it. I will try to find out more for a future post on this topic.
