Sometimes bigger is better. A bigger musky or walleye is always nice. How about a record fish…nice! We just set a record that wasn’t as much fun…192 mm of rain, which is 7 1/2 inches in one day! Let’s see what that day was like…
On a positive note, this was not our first wash out experience. Everything was back in shape the next few days with minimal disruption. At least this year no boats went under. Another one for the history books!Speaking of history here’s an interesting video featuring First Nations elder Leonard Skye discussing some of Eagle Lake’s past from the native perspective. Some of the individuals who he brings up were people I guided with back in the day (Albert Skye, Joe Napish) which makes me somewhat historical I guess (or just old).While we are still into history, here’s a shot of the old Johnson outboard that you may have noticed by the fireplace in the lodge…
What about the fishing? Of course fish have been caught. More activity on humps and deeper water, but still shallow water action as well. Here’s a few shots from Dave & Dan Witzlib’s recent trip…
If you take the time to view the link with Leonard Skye you might recognize him from the River Monster episode “Canadian Horror”. If you haven’t seen that episode check it out.

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.
