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!
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.
