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!
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.
