Testimonials
The Outdoor Sportsman's Lodge has been honored to host and fish some of the most respected names in the fishing and hunting industry. Hear what they had to say about their time with us!


Mark Davis, Bigwater Adventures TV Show

"Newton Lake is one of the best kept secrets in Illinois. It fishes huge with multiple structures and patterns available on any given day. The fish in both their abnormally large average size and quantity almost seem out of place for a slower growing season Midwestern reservoir. Outdoor Sportsman Lodge… what can I say? It feels like home. Comfortable, rural, peaceful, and with all the amenities you’d expect to find in a fine hotel. It’s a great place to be. "




Larry Ladowski, MidWest Outdoors Magazine

"For Bass fishing in the Midwest, one of the "Hottest" combination's around is Newton Lake and Outdoor Sportsman's Lodge! The lake is fabulous for catching numbers and quality, and Tab Walker's Outdoor Sportsman's Lodge is beautiful
and has every imaginable comfort you can think of. It's one of my favorite destinations for bass fishing and other outdoor adventures in the upper Midwest."



Mike Pehanich, BassMaster Magazine

"Amid the cornfields, highways and prairie patches of Illinois sits one of the finest bass waters I have ever fished... Outdoor Sportsman's Lodge is the gateway to Newton Lake where bass come in big numbers and jumbo sizes. It is a year-round fishery that yields its best angling during fall, spring and winter. It is also a superb lake to hone your angling skills. You can fish a variety of patterns and test new baits -- and have a good chance of taking a five-pound-plus fish every time you launch your boat. The cabins at the lodge are roomy with a woodsy elegance that matches the area's superb fishing and hunting. And I'd probably make the trip for Vicki Walker's food alone if I didn't have those big bass to lure me there."



John Gillespie from the Waters & Woods TV show

"For over 18 years, I have been filming weekly fishing shows all over the Midwest. Newton Lake, and The Outdoor Sportsman's Lodge have to rate as one of my absolute favorite destinations.
Tab and Vicki operate the only resort and guide service on the lake. They have first class accommodations and service to make your trip warm, fun, and exciting.
For year round trophy bass fishing, it’s Newton Lake hands down. Where else can you catch largemouth on surface baits in the middle of a snowstorm?"
