…and Henry basks in the glory of being the first to pick the correct date of May, 15th for the ice to go out on Vermilion Bay!  Was it a guess derived from studying the jet stream and weather forecasts?  Or just luck after going deep into a “Spirytus induced” coma?  Henry isn’t telling.

Notable guesses…

 

Congratulations and consolation to Shawn Lewis and Kurt Hebecker for also picking the correct date, but, alas, a little late off the mark.  Close, but no banana.  Nice try though!

Keith Mitchell and Mark (?) were soooo close with their guess of May 16.  If it wasn’t for the high winds yesterday…….

A notable lack of guesses for May 14.  What’s with that?

April 19…Charles Weiss…perhaps confusing Eagle Lake with Lake Ontario?

June 8…Dave Johnson “The Walleye Wizard”… I suppose when you retire and live in Arizona time and seasons have little meaning.  Either that or proof that excess alcohol can, and will, affect your mind. 

 

Thank you to all who participated!

If you’re looking for an outstanding vacation spot for the serious fisherman or a family get away you should consider Vermillion Bay Lodge on Eagle Lake, Ontario Canada. We have stayed at many lake resorts over the years, but none offer the simple pleasures of this one. The lake is large enough and holds enough fish for the most adventuresome fisherman and yet easy for local family fishing for young children. Bring your own boat or use one of the aluminum boats (20 hp) at the lodge. Boat dockage is well protected from the wind and allows easy access to the water.

What sets this lodge apart from most others is it is always clean, well kept with lots to do including paddle boats canoes, bon fires in the evenings and a just plain friendly atmosphere.
