Hey Drag and Spruce Lakes Family!
We’re thrilled to announce something brand new for our association: our very first official merchandise. After lots of behind-the-scenes work, we’re launching custom gear that celebrates our beautiful lakes and the community we all love.
First up: Limited-Edition Baseball-Style Hats
These premium hats are embroidered with:
- Our association logo on the front
- A detailed outline of our lakes on the peak (perfect for showing off where your cottage or favorite spot is!)
- A proud Canadian flag on the back
They’re high-quality, comfortable, and a fun way to wear your lake pride everywhere – on the dock, at events, or even as a cheeky “navigation tool” when friends ask, “Wait, which bay are you in again?”
Pre-order pricing:
- $25 each
- Family Bundle: 4 or more at $20 each
Second up: Custom Limited-Edition Lead-Free Fishing Lures in partnership with Fish Lead Free and our “Let’s Get The Lead Out” initiative.
We’re proud to offer two exclusive designs featuring our lake association logo:
- Single Mustad hook version – perfect for lake trout
- Treble hook version – ideal for bass
These eco-friendly, non-toxic lures are a fantastic swap for your tackle box—helping protect our loons, eagles and other wildlife from harmful lead tackle while keeping our lakes healthy for generations to come.
Pre-order pricing: $12 each (limited supply—don’t miss out on these custom editions!)
This is our first step into association-branded merch, and we hope it sparks joy, conversations, and that special sense of belonging to Drag and Spruce Lakes. Your support directly helps fund our efforts to preserve and protect our special place.
Early pre-orders help us gauge interest and ensure we order the right quantities.
We anticipate orders will be ready for fulfillment in late spring or early summer 2026.

Can’t wait to see everyone rocking these and using them on the water!
With lake pride,
DSLPOA Executive
