Lake Vermilion August fishing this past week was good at times, and a struggle largely due to unusual weather at other times. Some first time Lake Vermilion anglers caught their limits to take caught home and ate fish here too, but it wasn’t that easy for everyone. Smallies continue to be the most active catch, with a good number of 3 + pounders caught & released. Three muskies were reported between 44 & 47 inches. Fish our guests told us about were:
Walleyes: 23″ Mike Hensley – 22″ Greg Olson, Steve Terrell – 21″ Sandy Olson
Northerns: 34″ Joe Graczyk
Large mouth Bass: 19″ Frank Graczyk
Small mouth Bass: 19″ Frank Graczyk, Terry Borowski, Joe Graczyk, Shawn McCoy
18.5″ Frank Graczyk, Joe Graczyk, Shawn McCoy
18″ Mark Ewert, Joe Graczyk, Shawn McCoy, Frank Graczyk
Wish we could report the weather has returned to normal, but the first part of this week looks to have some unseasonably cold temps hanging around for a couple more days. Labor Day is just around the corner, so call now to make your plans for one last trip north!
