Lake Vermilion Memorial Day weekend fishing news found mixed results, with the water temp spiking in the shallow bays to push 80 degrees, moving shallow fish in search of deeper, cooler water. While some guests limited out there were spans of time when the high sun and unusually warm heat made the mid day bite a little tough. Earlier in the week, Brad & Jane [...]
Lake Vermilion May 2018 fishing news for the second weekend of the season found most of our guests having their usual fish fry and taking limits home. As expected, minnows continue to work best with the water temp falling back below 60 degrees with the cold nights we have had. Dave tried a leech for a short time yesterday, but quickly switched back to a [...]
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 later summer pattern has begun to settle in, with this past week producing plenty of fish for the skillet. We had many, many young anglers at the resort this week, and much credit goes out to the dedicated dads that spent the week getting them on fish.

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 [...]
Plenty of Lake Vermilion bass action helped pick up the slack for the less consistent walleye bite last week. We were able to sneak out Monday after dinner and kept 7 for Tuesday's dinner, and while a handful of guests did just fine catching their limits of walleyes, others seemed to struggle. Our outing found leeches and crawlers to be equally effective, in 14 - [...]
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 [...]
Lake Vermilion skillet walleyes June 2017 Lake Vermilion June fishing wraps up with a focus on walleyes and a loud "yes" to the most common question - "Have the mayflies hatched yet?" While it was probably and hopefully the worst weather week of the season [...]
Lake Vermilion June bite continues to produce both large and skillet perfect fish. Many returning guests found this past week to be very good, with a variety of species caught. The Graczyk crew caught over 100 northerns and at least twice that many bass, and added walleyes for the skillet to the mix as well. Tim Magee caught and released the northern shown below, and [...]
