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 [...]
Labor Day week on Lake Vermilion offered up a mixed bag as the Lake Vermilion water temp has started its downward slide. We got out yesterday and found the water temp at 56 degrees in Big Bay, two degrees lower than the day before. So how did we do? Well Dave caught his limit of walleyes and a few more small ones, his largest a [...]
Lake Vermilion August news brings more of the same - great weeks for some of our guests...a little tougher for others. An early stay outing with a guide for the Lane group was productive.They kept several walleyes for the skillet and released the nice 25"er shown above caught by Kelsey. Guests had mixed reports, with those that caught walleyes doing well with crawlers in 18 [...]
Lake Vermilion musky action picks up. There were a good number seen, with multiples on the same spot. The bite seems to have improved. Unfortunately there were many near misses along with several lessons learned for next time. Travis Meintz got a small one on his first trip out on Saturday. He followed it up with a nice 48" that you can see them boat [...]
Late July fishing on Lake Vermilion had its ups and downs last week, with walleyes beginning to spring back from a middle of the month tougher bite. Musky fishing wasn't spectacular, but there were fish seen on numerous spots and several near misses made for some excitement. There were a few sub 40's caught. As has been the case, the most consistent bite has been [...]
Lake Vermilion family resort fun was the name of the game last week. From campfires, to paddle boarding, to swimming, to tether ball... family vacation season was in full swing. Add in some impressive evening volleyball, and things were hopping! How was the fishing? Never a popular answer, but it really depended on who you asked. Some guests did well all week long, while [...]
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 [...]
