This morning I awoke to this “lovely” scene of falling snow over an ice covered lake. Fortunately I still have the snow machines parked by the shore and ready to go for opener. Yesterday the “Electric Beaver” set an all time record for one day views. 649 people came to this site to check in on what is happening to the ice. Seems like a heavy burden of responsibility on my part and it begs the question….”Am I too optimistic?”. For those of you who are planning a trip to NW Ontario keep in mind that this is an abnormal year of weather and weather patterns. I will be checking the status of some of the smaller lakes nearby to see how “plan B” looks for me. Having a “plan B” might be very handy this year!
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.
