Lake Vermilion Largemouth, Smallmouth, Northerns and Walleyes ---- and maybe a few muskies too! Plenty of variety this past week. And even better, some pretty reliable photo sharers, so here is just a sneak peak of some of the pictures shared this week. Be sure to check back tomorrow for the weekly fishing news and more pictures! August 2018 August 2018 [...]
Good Lake Vermilion August fishing started off with a mixed week. The first part of the week was a little tough, but the Wednesday cool down and increased winds really picked things up. While we usually expect a cold front to have the opposite effect, this time after several days of flat calm water and warmth, the more than 15 degree temp drop and the [...]
Lake Vermilion June wrap up found the last week of June a pretty solid fishing week for many of our guests. As noted at the start of the week, several returning guests found their way onto some great eater walleyes on Sunday, and found the same general area to produce nearly every time they hit it. A couple times the year class they caught was [...]
June kicks off strong on Lake Vermilion with most of our guests pleased with their outings. With many returning guests this past week, they took the lousy weather of Saturday evening in stride and started their fishing on Sunday. Virgil's crew of 8 had a fish fry every other day and caught the last 5 they needed on Thursday afternoon for each guy to take [...]
Lake Vermilion opener 2018 highlights included many limits for the fryer and a handful of good size fish caught & released. Mother Nature made up for the days of uncertainty regarding the ice leading up to the opener. Once the ice cleared with an official ice out date of May 8th, much needed rain cleared out of the area and left us with some of [...]
Lake Vermilion September fishing has been up and down, with a handful of windy and cooler than average rainy days making things tough. The cold front conditions of the past week definitely slowed things down, but this week's forecast of higher than average temps, high 70's and even over 80, will likely turn up the muskie action. Ron & Teri Vigue caught their limits on [...]
Lake Vermilion fishing finds the latter part of August settling into a normal pattern. The musky action was pretty steady last week, with several caught and many seen and missed. Those that targeted northern reported catching decent numbers but not trophy size fish. The smallmouth bass action continued to provide fun as well. Leeches have been difficult to get, but fortunately the walleye bite on [...]
Summer has arrived on Lake Vermilion, although it took a long time to get here! Water temps took a nice jump up this past week, climbing over 5 degrees to pass the 80 degree mark. So what's that done to the fishing? Depends who you ask. It definitely made the pool a popular place as many families with children spent the week with us on [...]
Late July fishing on Vermilion had its ups and down, with the smallmouth bass providing the most consistent action. Guests reported a variety of fish, with panfish, northern and some muskies being caught, but walleyes were a bit slower than we would have expected this late in the month. Things seem to be improving though as the Ellingson family arrived Saturday for just a [...]
Parade, fireworks.....and mayflies took center stage this past holiday week, with several mornings in a row creating surprise that the hatch still wasn't over. The city of Tower put on its usual full list of festivities and the fireworks were well received, but the mayflies were the talk of most of our guests, at least for the early part of the week. They arrived [...]
