It’s that time of year when I send off the annual “Beaver”…our VBL newsletter to our friends and guests. This edition has hit the post office and should be winding it’s way as we speak. One of the main reasons for the newsletter is to recap the past season; refreshing the memories of our guests, and to let those who didn’t make it know what they missed. With a season such as 2020, it was a bit of a creative exercise…I hope you find it interesting.
Tom Thomson is a well regarded photographer from Kenora, Ontario. On a recent visit to the lodge Susanne asked if he was related to another Tom Thomson whom she had a framed picture of…
This latter Tom Thomson (check the yellow underlined link…he was a famous Canadian artist), turns out to be our visiting Tom’s great grandfather’s cousin….and a photo he hasn’t seen before.
Susanne originally bought the framed photo in the gift shop of the ferry that runs across Georgian Bay, from Manitoulin Island to Tobermory. Now that’s a coincidence!
A bit of a mixture of new and old. We hope that things return to normal in the coming months and that we’ll get to see most of you in the near future. Till then, stay safe and have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
If you like GREAT fishing, hospitality and affordability, Vermilion Bay Lodge is highly recommended. I have been making the trip to Vermilion Bay Lodge for the past 10 years and have never once been disappointed. If you like great walleye, northern, musky and trout fishing, this place should not be overlooked. The fishing has been excellent… no matter what time we went. Gordy and Susanne are wonderful hosts that will make you feel right at home. Check it out – I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
