Nice days ahead on Lake Vermilion should offer up some great fishing before the next round of rain comes our way. We are in the thick of the end of the season wrap up, and will enjoy being outdoors the next three days when 60 degree temps tempt us to sneak out on the water. BUT, the weather that follows later in the week will [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Lake Vermilion fishing news finds us at the end of July, with some guests working to catch their walleyes while others have capitalized on more cooperative bass. Unfortunately last week was frustrating for several guests who found huge pods of fish on the screen that were less than eager to bite. There were some who did well with limits of walleyes on crawlers, but more [...]
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 [...]
Lake Vermilion fishing news June 10th is varied in both success and species being caught. We had a resort full of many returning guests who are usually a pretty good barometer of the fishing. It was up and down. Some cabins had their usual fish frys and took limits home while others seemed to struggle a bit. There were definitely some hot bite windows. These [...]
Lake Vermilion fishing mid-May has gotten mixed reviews. Depends on who you ask AND when you ask them. We had 9 out of 10 cabins with returning guests this past weekend, so it was a pretty experienced Lake Vermilion crowd. While the City Auto Glass teams had to endure the conditions on Saturday, others found the cold wind and spotty showers a deterrent. For many [...]
Boat sport and travel show fun! The Chicagoland Sport Travel and Outdoor show wrapped up Sunday. We had a blast catching up with many guests set to return this season. It was also great to meet many new Chicago area anglers, eager to make the trip north to Lake Vermilion. Spring can't get here soon enough. We're looking forward to seeing all of [...]
