Sometimes interesting “non-fishing” things happen around here. Take the case of Bailey the Irish Settler. She was on her way to Red Lake with her family when they stopped at Bobby’s Corner for gas. Being a very skittish dog she decided to bolt and ran off. Posters were put up but after 6 weeks things were not looking very good for Bailey. About a week ago Brent and Tracy (who run the Bayview Hotel…..official watering hole of the Musky Madness Week) were at their cabin in Favell Bay (about 2 miles south of VBL)…..this is a boat in access cabin…no road, where they caught a glimse of Bailey. It took a week of leaving her food and a blanket on the deck to calm her down enough to be able to catch her. Once on a leash she seemed relieved (albeit a bit shell-shocked) to be out of the wilderness…..and away from the wood ticks (she was covered!) Good job Brent and Tracy for the rescue effort! 6 weeks alone in the bush would be scary.
What else?
So how many turtles does it take to fill up a log?
Based on early reports for the “Scott Stroupe” group, the fish are really biting!
It’s conjoined twins week at the lodge….or as we like to promote it…”Joined at the hip Madness Week”. Wade and Terry relaxing with their siblings…..
Nobody likes to miss out on the Sunday night fish fry…..Jersey get’s herself in line.
Stay tuned for a fishing report from the Scott Stroupe group…….coming soon.
This is a first class resort located on Vermillion Bay on Eagle Lake. The cabins are very clean and well kept. The boats are new with new motors and are in great shape. The owner will also clean your fish for you after your day on the water. Make no mistake the fishing on Eagle Lake is world class.
The Lodge is owned by Gord and Susanne Bastable who will make you feel welcome and before you know it you feel like family. They are the best of hosts. The atmosphere is low key and laid back leading to a great vacation.
This is my 19th year of enjoying the hospitality of the lodge and i can’t think of going anywhere else on Eagle Lake.
