Well, the pictures are showing quite a bit of ice on this Mother’s Day, 2014. To put it into perspective here’s last year’s Mother’s day imagery… and a link to the Mother’s Day blog post from last year…
So we see that last year the ice had already started moving around, and probably half as much ice. What does it mean? Good question. Tomorrow we have rain predicted and if the ice starts moving with some good wind a lot can happen. In the meantime, the long range weather shows some great weather for the whole opening week. Worse case scenario, some smaller lakes may keep us occupied till the main lake opens up. Alternatively, horse shoes, beer drinking, no bugs, and sunshine. Then there’s the lake trout….opening week for sure!
If you like GREAT fishing, hospitality and affordability, Vermilion Bay Lodge is highly recommended. I have been making the trip to Vermilion Bay Lodge for the past 10 years and have never once been disappointed. If you like great walleye, northern, musky and trout fishing, this place should not be overlooked. The fishing has been excellent… no matter what time we went. Gordy and Susanne are wonderful hosts that will make you feel right at home. Check it out – I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
