The NEW Anne Marie Lodge – Open for occupancy 2009

After eight years under construction – slowed by fierce winters and helicopters periously balanced with timbers, toilets, and windows — Minipi unveils its new Anne Marie Lodge: 7 spacious private bedroom/bath suites, grand gathering room, and panoramic vistas over the some of the world’s most legendary brook trout fly fishing waters.  Whether you come alone or use the new accommodations as "home base" for a reunion with buddies or business retreat with partners, we'd love to put you in our history books as one of Anne Marie's first-year guests!

 

Four of a kind – Jack Cooper takes over the operation of Little Minipi Lake Lodge

Now you can choose, not from just three, but from four lodges – Minipi, Anne Marie and Minonipi…and now Little Minipi Lodge. This small, comfortable lodge, owned and operated for years by Harvey Calden, is down-river from the big lake. It's got the same big brookies, char and lunker pike in two lakes, one roughly 9 miles long, the other 3 miles long with innumerable coves, inlets, and plenty of wade-able river, riffles, and rapids (some right within walking distance of the cabin.) Add another chapter to your Minipi adventures, take a trip down river to Little Minipi Lake Lodge.

 

 

Introducing Cooper Air, offering fly-outs from the lodges to remote lakes and rivers

That's right. We now have our own plane, a spiffy-looking, dependable Beaver DeHaviland. Completely refitted with the latest of everything. Now, not only do we have more flexibility in scheduling flights from Otter Creek out to the lodges, but we can also offer day-trip fly-outs from the lodges to even more remote lakes. To waters that have never–ever–been fished before. Virgin territory. Hey, maybe we should call it Virgin Access Air–but I think that's already taken.
