Lake Vermilion sounds of spring come alive when we get a season with lots of snow, 46 degrees on Saturday, and another warm sunny day coming our way today. Although the rush of run off is sneaking through an opening below the top of the dam, it is coming through with enough force to open the water on the other side of the bridge shown [...]
Everett Bay Lodge February news finds us back from the Chicagoland Fishing, Travel & Outdoor Expo. What a great time it was to see so many of our guests who make that area their home.

Lake Vermilion December ice 2019 was getting a nice assist from some really cold temperatures the week before Christmas, but there remains a fair amount of slush in many areas, so please be cautious. We had a good number of cold nights and single degree highs, but warmer than normal temps over the weekend made for some heavy wet snow. Today's couple inches was more [...]
Lake Vermilion 2019-20 ice is getting a nice start with plenty of cold weather and a forecast of more to come. The 10 day outlook only calls for one day with a high of 32 degrees and everything else below freezing. Seems a little early and redundant as well, but here is our annual reminder - STAY SAFE!

Nice days ahead on Lake Vermilion should offer up some great fishing before the next round of rain comes our way. We are in the thick of the end of the season wrap up, and will enjoy being outdoors the next three days when 60 degree temps tempt us to sneak out on the water. BUT, the weather that follows later in the week will [...]
The sun sets on another great Lake Vermilion season for us at Everett Bay Lodge. Thanks to Brian Horn for sharing his timely photo! The last week of the season was a mix of guests taking advantage of the full week on the lake while others slipped away for a long weekend. Those that spent the week experienced the usual fluctuations of weather with some [...]
September fishing action on Lake Vermilion was best for walleyes, perch and some normally elusive crappies. First for the crappies. While they are most often caught in the early part of the season, a couple different cabins happened upon them. They caught some nice sized ones in 30+ feet of water. Several other guests caught some smallies remarking on the aggressive fight they offered. Musky [...]
Lake Vermilion fall fishing news included lots of chatter about the weather. The past week tested everyone's perseverance. Although we were happy for the rain, it didn't come at night like we hoped. Rain suits were key. Fortunately for many the bite was decent when they were able to get out. Doug Vieth and Larry Kopczyk had a nice outing early in their week catching [...]
