Another cold winter…

It’s been a slow start to ice fishing this winter with below normal temperatures and a corresponding decline in “Ice fishing gumption”. However with the arrival of Chris and Nick (and new guy Judd) it was time to get serious about laying waste to the lake trout.

Assault on Eagle Lake…

With the -30 degree mornings we experienced the “assault” in a few different ways….mostly to our faces and hands. Nick was after something bigger than the normal eaters we seemed to be pulling in so we spent a few hours fishing Eagle. It’s not a numbers thing on the big lake, but there are some dandies lurking. Nick was able to connect….

As with success, there must be failure. Chris discovers the drama of hooking the “big one” and the misery of defeat…

Good to see you got out. Nice fish, too. Lost monsters aren’t all bad. They give me something to think about as I fall asleep on cold winter nights. Thanks for posting.

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.
