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. We met some new guests who have made plans to stay with us this year, and crossed paths with some young adults who came up to the booth and reminisced [...]

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! Visit this link to info on [...]
Where did August go? Seems like the 4th of July was just a few weeks ago, and yet we'll flip the calendar to September tomorrow. And the walleye bite has picked up just in time. We had a Lake Vermilion water temp of 63 degrees on the shaded side of Big Bay shoreline yesterday morning. A check of the ten day forecast shows every day's [...]
Mayflies made their mark on Lake Vermilion --- Some years it matters - some years it doesn't. Consensus is that this year the mayfly HATCHES mattered. Just when we thought the end was in sight, another round of mayflies greeted us again. It seemed as if the week was going to be a good one when a late trip to the bait house to turn [...]
July 4th week at Everett Bay Lodge is in the books, and we want to thank all those that chose to make our resort their Lake Vermilion home for the holiday week. Many guests took advantage of several of the Tower, MN July 4th events. Yet others focused on their fishing, played golf, enjoyed yard games and took in the beauty of the lake and [...]
Lake Vermilion area attractions kept 8 year old Eli and 5 year old Abel busy as they spent last week taking advantage of the many things to see and do in Northeast Minnesota. Rain in the early part of their stay didn't get in the way of their trip to the Soudan Mine https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/state_parks/lake_vermilion_soudan/tours.html. They were especially interested in taking in some of the local [...]
Lake Vermilion June fishing news includes the long overdue arrival of warmer temperatures. The water temp is finally making its move up, with Everett Bay reaching 75 degrees after stalling in the 60's for several weeks. The night time lows are predicted to stay in the 50's so it should help avoid those big overnight drops. After another chilly start to the week, guests welcomed [...]
