The progression of the Eagle Lake ice out continues. As it melts back from shore and turns black one can only speculate what will eventually cause it to leave. A slow melt with warming temperatures? A quick demise with strong winds or rain? Your guess is as good as mine!
One observation. Water levels are quite high and things are looking good for some great fishing opening week. Access into Clearwater Lake and other portage lakes should be easy. Once again the MNR has asked Vermilion Bay Lodge to catch some lake trout from Eagle Lake for their tagging studies. A tough job, but someone has to do it!
On behalf of the Boyes Group, I would like to pass on our sincere thanks for hosting the Muskie Madness Week and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at VBL and had a great time!! This was our 7th year on Eagle Lake and we have stayed at a few other lodges but VBL takes the cake hands down! You can definitely count us in for next year. I’m happy to see you post some of my pics, they turned out well. Thanks again Gord for a wonderful week of fishing and your stellar hospitality, you run a first class operation, we look forward to seeing you next year!
