I like the suggestion of posting some of the lakers from the fish board last year. It was an impressive year. However, let me be clear that these fish can be caught all year. It just becomes much more of a challenge and one has to venture out of the bay to find them later in the year. The early spring bite is appealing because the fish are shallow, they are close to the lodge, and one can use light tackle. All of the following lakers however were caught in very deep water in August (Yes, trout are the exception when it comes to adjusting their bladder but they do require some attention to release them back to deep water). Unlike the spring, you are not going to “accidentally” catch lakers in the fall. You have to be targeting them and not many people are doing that. Thus the board won’t show as many lakers other then in the spring. Nothing is a guarantee. That’s why they call it “fishing” rather than “catching”. However for the last 3 years the professors gone wild have had great success with the day we set aside to catch lakers late in August.
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.
