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!
Thank you very much for making my get a way week so enjoyable. Dan and I had a great time. You and Susanne should be commended on how clean and well maintained your cabins and lodge are. I will recommend you to anyone that is looking to go to Canada fishing and I look forward to the time I can come back.
