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 [...]
Lake Vermilion 2019-20 ice is getting a nice start with plenty of cold weather and a forecast of more to come. The 10 day outlook only calls for one day with a high of 32 degrees and everything else below freezing. Seems a little early and redundant as well, but here is our annual reminder - STAY SAFE!

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 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 [...]
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 [...]
