Fishing in Eagle River

We have had a dynamite year for fishing in Eagle River. The water level is finally high and everything seems to be biting a little bit later and a little bit longer. The smallies and panfish are moving on to their beds now as the weeds are starting to make their summer climb to the surface. Everyone I talk to seems to be catching fish. With gas and vacation prices so high I think more people are driving to fishing locations such as Eagle River rather than making the big trips to Canada. Believe me, people are catching big fish up here. Last week alone the Vilas News Review had a picture of a 50" musky caught last week.


It seems fitting that our most popular sandal is our "Fisherman" sandal. We sell twice as many of these sandals as any other sandal in our inventory. At $45.00 they are a bargain and I have yet to meet someone that hasn't had their Fishermans for two or more years. They can handle the daily wear and they just don't wear out.
The Fisherman has the classic look of summer with that super cushion insole that makes Minnetonkas so comfortable. The Open Toe Fisherman comes in a Ladies and Men's styles. The heal strap keeps the sandal on your foot for comfortable walking all day long. The adjustable velcro strap on the front of the foot is durable and heavy enough so that it doesn't curl up after daily use. This sandal works great for people that need a little more support in their insole.
Good Luck on the water this year fisherman. Don't be afraid to visit Eagle River's Chain of 28 lakes where the fishing is phenomenal this year. Not to mention the hundreds of other lakes in the area.

The Black Silverthorne Thong

A Quote from the catalogue. "Sandal Heart...Moccasin sole. This signature sandal captures the Minnetonka DNA through original silver ornamentation, fringe, beads and the comfortable Minnetonka Signature outsole."

We have had a lot of luck with this sandals. It has an outsole that ranges from a half-inch at the toe to a full 1.5 inches at the heal. Those of you that need a little extra height in your shoes don't have to sacrafice the thong look for a taller shoe.

The Silverthorne also transends that "Teen flip-flop" look with its metallic adornment and braiding. For me that means you can wear this thong with shorts during the day and then turn around and wear it again in the evening with a summer dress or skirt.

I think the most popular feature of this shoe is that it has an amazing cushion insole which is going to be a lot easier on your knees and feet if you plan on doing any kind of walking at all.
