Eagle Lake Ice Out: Update #9

The Eagle Lake Ice Out…”Will it ever end?”

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce that yet another day has past, and yet, off in the distance (the black line north of Strawberry Island), a hold-out ice flow has taken permanent residence.  After two days of calm winds, the Eagle Lake Ice Out is really dragging it’s butt!

What you can’t see from this vantage point is the remnant of ice that has drifted to the Johnson Point section of the lake.  Now, as the contest is not over until it’s over, there is still the open invitation to take a wild stab at the ice out date…..assuming you haven’t already done so.  Make yourself known soon!

Eagle Lake Ice Out fly by celebration…….

Sparing no expense, a fly by from one of Ontario’s water bomber fleet was the least I could do to celebrate the upcoming winner of the Eagle Lake Ice Out contest….

Testimonials

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.
