Ice Fishing with Henry……

My story about ice fishing with Henry.

ice fishing with Henry Henry has been a regular guest of Vermilion Bay Lodge  for the past number of years, chasing muskie, walleye and anything else that will bite in his “man boat”. This past week he paid us a visit to try something new……ice fishing with Henry.  Here he is jigging for lake trout on Teggau Lake, which at over 500 feet deep is one of the deepest lakes in the region.

An eater walleye from a spot in Vermilion Bay, on Eagle. Besides never having ice fished before, Henry had never driven a snowmachine before…….pretty exciting stuff, for a Polish guy from Chicago.

Susanne and Henry pose with a nice selection of lake trout from a small lake off of Eagle…….
They were a dark copper colour, but very tasty………..

Yours truly with a dandy walleye from Vermilion Bay. Caught in 25 feet of water on a Salmo Chubby Darter. Released to spawn this spring. Is that the lodge in the background?

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.
