Well, the pictures are showing quite a bit of ice on this Mother’s Day, 2014.  To put it into perspective here’s last year’s Mother’s day imagery… and a link to the Mother’s Day blog post from last year…

So we see that last year the ice had already started moving around, and probably half as much ice.  What does it mean?  Good question.  Tomorrow we have rain predicted and if the ice starts moving with some good wind a lot can happen.  In the meantime, the long range weather shows some great weather for the whole opening week.  Worse case scenario, some smaller lakes may keep us occupied till the main lake opens up.  Alternatively, horse shoes, beer drinking, no bugs, and sunshine.  Then there’s the lake trout….opening week for sure!

    It looks like there is open water on the south end of the bay. I assume that is wishful thinking based on your commentary?

    Andy you can do me a favor and pick up my winning prize and my towel Gord is holding for me and drop it off on your way back. Just take I-43 instead on 90-94 on the way home.
    Thanks
    Grass is greening up and docks are in just give you the itch even more.

    Just as an update to the “update” with the rain that we’ve had all day today the ice on Vermilion Bay is totally black, which I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. Ice out by the weekend….maybe.

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.
