Ice out update………..

Early April crocus are up in Vermilion Bay!

But the ice is still hanging in there!

Is Maggie depressed because Big Dave Brown guessed the wrong date for ice out? Perhaps she just wants her breakfast…….we’ll never know!

Well, this is a nice sunny day. Still plenty of ice. In talking with some of the old timers, the earliest ice out date on Vermilion Bay between the 1930’s and the 1970’s was April 18th in 1948. Since the 70’s though, we have had the ice go out on April 17th. This year…??

    Botanical Correction!!!! For all of you armchair naturalists, I detected an error in Gord's identification of "early April crocus". These are in fact not part of the crocus family, but are blue Glory-of-the-Snow (Chionodoxa spp). Gord stands corrected…

    P.S. What's all this about "Gord needs rain to get it up"?! Is there something I don't know?

    Well finally WELCOME to the Blog Susanne….
    We need to know no more on this we have heard and seen enough about Gord's "DARK SIDE".
    So the big question today is did the ice go out before midnight?

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.
