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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
Anyone looking for a great Lake Vermilion resort cabin the third week of June, (June 22 - 29) give us a call. Cabin 2 is our most popular option, with 3 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms. Add in a perfect lakefront location near the pool. It was just given up this morning by the party that reserved it last June. It is a good option for [...]
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 [...]
October 2018 Lake Vermilion is still offering up walleyes for those that have kept their boats in the water as the deer opener approaches, but the end is in sight. The usual fall tactics of trolling crank baits around 2 m.p.h. and lindy rigging deep spots with nice size minnows have continued to produce nice fish. The water temp was barely above 40 [...]
