Big Buck Island

During the “Muskie Madness Week” (report to follow) I ran across this fellow swimming to an island I have now named “Big Buck Island”.


Hmm……interesting rack with the dripping velvet……..how many points?
Ten at least……….much bigger though than the mount in the lodge……….


He was moving pretty fast, probably didn’t appreciate our company!

With plenty of splashing and crashing noises in the bush, he was soon gone. May he live long and prosper!

    I was told that having any velvet this time of year would be unusual. Perhaps what looks like velvet could be some weeds or grass the big dude picked up on his way into the lake?

    No riding for me…….the water is a might chilly.

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.
