Gary's Guide Service This is Gary; owner of the Bass Heaven website. I just happen to live near Tumblehome Lodge. I keep my boat at the lodge and I offer guiding on Crotch Lake for Walleye. Smallmouth Bass & Largemouth Bass. Northern Pike are also available but not in great numbers like bass and Walleye. If you are a guest of the lodge or just visiting the area and want to go fishing please visit my page. I manage a bunch of fishing websites as well as the website for 150 lodges. It's my full time job but I still manage to find the time to guide a coupe of days a week.

Please Note: If the wife or the wives are not interested in fishing they can drive 20 minutes to gorgeous downtown Perth where there are all kinds of shops, cafe's and boutiques.
