Lake Vermilion Walleye Hatchery 2016 starts to gear up. All they need now is the walleyes! We stopped by the hatchery this afternoon and were welcomed as the first visitors to make their way across the planking. Found the DNR staff all set up and just waiting for the Lake Vermilion walleyes to arrive for the 2016 Hatchery work. They reported the [...]
Al Lindner Angling Edge on Lake Vermilion walleyes - Sound interesting? A program about Lake Vermilion walleye fishing filmed last fall on beautiful Lake Vermilion is currently airing in several different markets. Are you: wondering what some of the best artificial walleye baits are and how to "work" them? curious as to where the Lake Vermilion walleyes go after Labor Day? interested in knowing the [...]
Greetings from the Northwoods! Last year at this time the ice had completely covered Everett Bay. What a difference a year can make! So far the fall has turned out to be one of the most mild we can recall. Nonetheless, it is time to wrap up the resort season and look ahead to 2016, our 17th season at the resort. As fishing years go, [...]
Nicole Hedlund with a nice Lake Vermilion northern. Lake Vermilion mid September fishing - Everett Bay Lodge guests have had mixed results. August ended with some really high temps only to find us lighting cabin heaters and sleeping with the windows closed as the first week of September ended. Now we are back to 80 degrees, nice green grass, and some inconsistent fishing. [...]
Lake Vermilion August fishing this past week was good at times, and a struggle largely due to unusual weather at other times. Some first time Lake Vermilion anglers caught their limits to take caught home and ate fish here too, but it wasn't that easy for everyone. Smallies continue to be the most active catch, with a good number of 3 + pounders caught & released. Three [...]
Mid August Lake Vermilion fishing - Everett Bay Lodge guests had mixed results. In short, some of everything was caught, but it wasn't the easiest week on the lake. Guys fishing for Bass caught Muskies, guys fishing for Muskies caught Bass, and there were some walleyes caught - both eaters and larger ones. The Henseler boys along with nearly 40 of their relatives, spent their [...]
Lake Vermilion early August fishing found the Muskies and Smallmouth Bass continuing to steal the show. Just ask Zach Brennan, who spent the week boating 7 muskies, the largest a 53.5" Personal Record for him. He caught 3 that were over the 50" mark. Not a bad way to celebrate High School graduation before he heads off to college! Check out the photo [...]
Lake Vermilion late July fishing brought mixed results, largely due to a longer than usual stretch of windy days. 7 of 10 cabins had returning guests with lots of years of experience on the Big V, and it was not as easy as usual for them. High temps late last week and early this week brought Big Bay surface water temps into the 80 degree [...]
Cliff Wagenbach cleaning jumbos and walleyes with Jon Wilson Lake Vermilion mid July fishing for our guests has been up and down, just like the weather. Plenty of people marking nice schools of fish on the graph, but feeding behavior has been pretty difficult to predict. Lake Vermilion guide Cliff Wagenbach spent a day with Jon Wilson and some of his family, and [...]
Lake Vermilion early July fishing garnered mixed results as for many groups the July 4th holiday week was more about family time, boating and relaxation. Lake Vermilion was hopping and the Tower parade, as always, received high praise. We had easy success on smallmouth bass and those that targeted walleyes found them anywhere from 2 to 24 feet. We caught walleyes really shallow on leeches [...]
