Jack The Horse Lake Fishing in Itasca County, Minnesota
Marcell Area

What you have labeled as Little Dick Lake is actually part of Jack The Horse. Little Dick is just to the right of Jack The Horse not above it. Next to Little Dick is Big Dick Lake and above Big Dick is Burns Lake. Hope this helps you correct your map.

I remember going on a fishing trip to a cabin on this lake with my best friend and his mother. I was 10 years old at the time and the memory remains to this day at the age of 35. The fishing was some of the best I had ever known. The crappies were by far the biggest I have ever landed in a boat. My most memorable thing about this lake was when I was reeling in a crappie one evening and a massive pike followed my dinner up to the boat and tried to snatch it as soon as I got it out of the water. It scared the living bejeezus out of me, I thought it was a gator had I not known any better. I tried for the next 3 days to catch my new found "gator" friend because I it was the biggest fish I had ever seen in my short life. I can't recall the name of the resort we stayed in but it was so beautiful and quiet. I remember the owner was an old gentlemen that was so much fun to listen to. he would tell us where the fish were as he was happily refueling our boat amd telling us stories about the lake and surrounding area. I love that northern hospitality, it can't be found anywhere else on earth. As for that gator, I'll be back for you some day!
