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 [...]
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 [...]
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 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 [...]
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 [...]
When is the summer of 2019 coming to Lake Vermilion? We are half way through June and it hasn't arrived yet. While we were happy to get a couple nice days last week, they were just enough to remind us what we seem to have missed so far this spring. So what has that meant for the bite? For many last week was a pretty [...]
