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 [...]
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 [...]
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 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 [...]
How's the bite on Lake Vermilion? Some days good, other days a little bit tougher. In most instances, while they didn't slay them every time, experienced walleye seekers got some nice limits, but it took effort. Again the screens showed plenty of fish, but getting them to cooperate wasn't always easy. Most guests had enough good windows to get their fish, but they also had [...]
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 [...]
