While you are mulling over whether to put in a guess on when the ice will be gone, or fretting over the guess you’ve already made, let me bring up an “event” that will be occurring over the entire 2015 season at Vermilion Bay Lodge.  What can it be, you may be thinking!  Let me give you a few hints:

 

 

  • It is a challenge that involves testing your skills as an angler and your stamina as a fresh water athlete.

  • It is a fish species that is talked about in hushed tones, and one that Jeremy Wade has yet to tackle.

  • There are legends that tell of an enormous “Bull-like” creature and of a hero that dared to ride it….

 

 

 

 

 

What is the feat you must face….what is the challenge you must not ignore?

 

 

 

 

 

Introducing the Vermilion Bay Lodge “Bull Perch Rodeo”

IMGP3457 (839x1024)

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]

After years of planning we are ready to launch the 1st Annual Bull Perch Rodeo here at the lodge.  Rules are simple.  Enter your “big perch” down at the fish house, where our “perch verification team” will enter the dimensions into  a secret, locked vault.  At the end of the season the winner will be announced.  His or her success will be rewarded with a fantastic memento of this achievement, with their name being inscribed onto the VBL Bull Perch trophy for future generations of anglers to marvel at….
