Kay Hawley with one of several Fall Lake Vermilion smallies. 2016 Lake Vermilion fishing is in the books at Everett Bay Lodge with our last guests enjoying some excellent fall weather. As September came to an end with some windy conditions, the start of October was perfect and many guests did very well on the lake. Unfortunately for the Casper crew [...]
Lots of limits of eater walleyes were caught on Lake Vermilion as the end of September approaches. Toss in the "too big to keep" fish that were released and overall it was a pretty decent week for many of our guests. The transition to fall deep spots has started and trolling crank-baits produced a good number of fish. Had some self-proclaimed bass anglers get into walleyes [...]
Lake Vermilion mid-September fishing news has varied, with some guests doing very well on walleyes and jumbo perch while others have spent their time chasing muskies. While muskies have been seen in both weeds and on the rocks, they have been reluctant to bite in most cases. Dan Andrews was able to boat a couple - a 47" and a 45"- but those were the [...]
Lake Vermilion late summer fishing produced mixed results for our guests this past week. The Lannings described it as a good week of fishing, with 3 muskies, plenty of smallies, some northerns and lastly walleyes for the skillet. Seemed like there were days that were kind of tough for everyone, and then days when several cabins did well, but they had to put their time [...]
Late August Lake Vermilion fishing produced good results for many of our guests this past week. The muskie action was a little more consistent with several fish over 40" caught as well as some under 40" too. The walleye bite was pretty good throughout the week once the cold front effects passed, with crawlers continuing to be the preferred bait. Several cabins ate MANY fish [...]
Lake Vermilion fishing mid August found most of last week's guests doing well. Some PR muskies were caught, like the 52" caught by Mark Presnail, and a good number of guests made daily trips to the bait house to clean their catch of Lake Vermilion walleyes. There were several walleyes too big to keep, but eater size walleyes and perch were plentiful, with several guests [...]
Lake Vermilion fishing action continues to produce a nice variety of fish. Several cabins reported weeks of fishing above their expectations, like the Korolewskis, who ate walleyes every day they were here, crediting their first day outing with a recommended guide for helping them narrow down their hunt on this first time trip to Lake Vermilion. More interested in the Lake Vermilion bass fishing, James [...]
August fishing on Lake Vermilion has found smallmouth and largemouth bass action staying strong. A good number of decent bass have been caught and released, along with a couple outings of over 30 northern caught, several in the 30 - 36" range. Walleye fishing has continued to produce mainly eater size fish, but we'd expect to see some larger ones as the weeks in [...]
Lake Vermilion July fishing ended better than it started, with the last few days of the month finding the walleyes ready to eat. The middle part of the month found conditions a little tougher than usual, as both perch and crayfish provided ample food for the many, many walleyes that were marked but not biting. Fortunately as the last week of the month moved along [...]
Lake Vermilion fishing has been up and down over the past week, with plenty of walleyes showing up on the sonar and the ones that are caught showing signs that the perch hatch and crayfish are serving as their bait of choice. It has been a little tougher to get them to bite, but those that stayed with it were eventually rewarded for their effort. [...]
