Cold and windy on Lake Vermilion

Cold and windy weather made the conditions less than ideal this past week, but it is hard to complain about the weather when you see what the folks on the coast were dealt.  While the Pike River dam had stopped running during a drier than normal August, a good rain early this past week got it running again. It was a week of mixed reports, with guests like the Rolfsons getting their share of walleyes [...]

Lake Vermilion walleyes and muskies and bass…..

Lake Vermilion walleyes and muskies and bass.....  In typical fashion, the up and down weather of September produced the same up and down fishing action.  The walleye and bass proved to be the most consistent bite last week although they didn't get too much pressure.  Many were scouting the muskies in preparation for the weekend's PMTT Mega tourney.  Here is one caught by Kevin Rabska, putting him on our EBL Wall of Fame. (50.5") [...]

Lake Vermilion fall fishing stays steady

Lake Vermilion fall fishing stays steady, particularly for walleye and small mouth bass.  Add the chance to host college friends for a week, catch plenty of fish for some meals, and laugh, laugh, laugh!  Isn't that what a trip north is all about?

Early September Lake Vermilion fishing

            Early September Lake Vermilion walleyes As August wrapped up, the crank bait bite for decent walleyes continued.  We had several cabins of guests report many limits of nice walleyes, eating a couple meals here and taking some home too.  Just the way it is supposed to go! Ozzy and Max, shown above, caught most of their walleyes trolling cranks - the largest just under 20"- and they [...]

Lake Vermilion smallmouth fishing stays strong.

Lake Vermilion smallmouth bass fishing stays strong as the end of August approaches.  Good numbers of smallies continue to be caught, with crankbaits and leeches producing the most fish.  There were a handful of good sized bass caught, but it was a more a week of good numbers.  Levi caught this nice one, and Jim Ryberg reported catching 2 five pounders and Jim Swanson caught an 18". August 2018 Those that were hoping [...]

Lake Vermilion weather TOO nice??

Can the Lake Vermilion weather be too nice?   Depends on who you ask.  We had some families focused on using the pool, tubing, cruising the lake and taking in the tourist attractions, and for them the past week's weather was just perfect.  For those who were fishing muskies, the mid 70 to mid 80 blue sky calm wind days were not what they were hoping for. So how did people do?  While lots of muskies [...]
