It was a mixed week of fishing for our guests, with the early week walleye bite holding strong, only to taper off a bit as the mayfly hatch began to go full swing. Dave Jozwiak caught a nice 25.5" walleye early in his stay, only to be trumped by his fishing partner and wife, Monica, who caught a terrific 30" walleye, making our Everett Bay [...]
Another block of great weather and fishing in the books! Between the smallmouth bass and the walleyes, there was plenty of fishing action to go around, and another week of fabulous weather found many tuckered out after a full schedule of swimming, tubing, playing volleyball & horseshoes and oh yes --- frying fish! We welcomed a new group to Lake Vermilion and were thrilled that [...]
The trend of solid walleye fishing continued again as guests that have been with us for many, many years reported this past week's fishing to be among the best if not "the" best they have enjoyed. Again, the presentation of choice didn't seem to matter much, as some trolled crankbaits, while others jigged or used slip bobbers. Bait choice was split between leeches and crawlers [...]
While the weather wasn't the greatest, it was good enough for families to enjoy the pool and the walleye bite resulted in another week of plenty of fish to eat. There were windows of time when the bite was very steady, with some returning guests describing the week as "maybe the best" they have had during their annual weeklong visit to Lake Vermilion. A sample [...]
It has been another nice week of fishing as the shallow water temps rose over 10 degrees from the time guests arrived last Saturday and the time they left yesterday. Had a couple cabins that had their fill of fish fry's and ended up their weeks with their last limit to take home - can't get any better than that. In fact, Steve DesJardin told [...]
Our regular guests in cabin 7 this week have done quite well on walleye, perch, northern and muskie. They've stayed close and managed to have several fish frys already. Dale boated a 35" northern and Rod his boat partner boated a 43" muskie about 5 minutes apart Monday afternoon. The bobber bite with leeches is good in the evening hours for walleye. Dale and his [...]
Another week has quickly passed and things seemed to get better as the week got longer, with good walleyes caught - both "eaters" and slot fish - on minnows and leeches. The crankbait bite was decent as well. There were some muskies caught, all over 40" with the largest a 46". As one would expect, water temps are still cooler than normal, but a forecast [...]
Would like to say the pool is ready and getting plenty of action, but only one part of that would be true. The pool is ready, but Mother Nature is staying true to her early season pattern, and swimming weather has not yet arrived. While the rain and cool temps took its toll on some guests who opted for more cribbage than usual, they still [...]

Opening week of fishing was pretty good fishing for walleye. Pike Bay produced steadily for our folks as well as some deeper spots. Minnows and jigs were the primary method used to catch fish. Nice Walleye Big smile all around! Some of the nice walleyes caught over 20" were as follows: Matt Arneson 26” W Brooklyn Park, Mn Steve Laing 25” [...]
