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 [...]
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 [...]
Labor Day week on Lake Vermilion offered up a mixed bag as the Lake Vermilion water temp has started its downward slide. We got out yesterday and found the water temp at 56 degrees in Big Bay, two degrees lower than the day before. So how did we do? Well Dave caught his limit of walleyes and a few more small ones, his largest a [...]
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 [...]
Late July fishing on Lake Vermilion had its ups and downs last week, with walleyes beginning to spring back from a middle of the month tougher bite. Musky fishing wasn't spectacular, but there were fish seen on numerous spots and several near misses made for some excitement. There were a few sub 40's caught. As has been the case, the most consistent bite has been [...]
Lake Vermilion family resort fun was the name of the game last week. From campfires, to paddle boarding, to swimming, to tether ball... family vacation season was in full swing. Add in some impressive evening volleyball, and things were hopping! How was the fishing? Never a popular answer, but it really depended on who you asked. Some guests did well all week long, while [...]
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 [...]
Take a kid fishing at Everett Bay Lodge - Lake Vermilion In a traffic jam got stopped next to this car. "Parents don't frame pictures of their kids playing video games.... TAKE THEM FISHING." Reminded us of the many great families we get to share Lake Vermilion with each summer. How about a few of these pictures from 2018? While everyone likes to catch a [...]
2018 season is in the books..all except for the final blasts of color on the trees. Fall 2018 The final weekend of fishing for our guests was pretty decent, with several cabins catching limits and more slot fish released. Eric and a buddy headed out on Sunday, and while the temperatures were low, they managed to catch several walleyes, a couple limits of [...]
