While it may be the end of March, it still seems like we are in the dead of winter here at Vermilion Bay Lodge. There are signs though that Spring fishing is not far away.
An axe emerges from the snow, apparently left in a chunk of firewood down by the fire-pit.
It’s also nearing the time when conditions right for getting into the back-country by snow-machine are fading. Time to put some gas for the portage lake boats in place. On the agenda for today….Clearwater Lake, McGregor Lake, Caribou Lake, and Long Lake. Having the gas in place means Spring fishing for lake trout, walleye, smallmouth bass and pike is much easier.
Back in Caribou Lake a shoreline boulder makes a good perch for Susanne. You can be sure the smallmouth bass are not far away. Spring fishing back in this remote lake for smallmouth bass and pike is a real treat. Catch and release…..always.
Meanwhile, in Long Lake a boat ramp takes shape. Long Lake is an area we hardly ever fish. While we know there are pike that inhabit these waters, we are not sure how big they grow back here. Perhaps Spring fishing in 2011 will solve this riddle.

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.
