The walleye bite continues to be good in the shallows as the mayfly hatch ends. Most guests have been trolling crankbaits with good success. The jig and minnow folk are also doing well, especially in the evening when the fish move into some of the nearby weed beds. Not sure what is happening on some of the deeper structure but likely this will be turning on soon. Bass have still been cooperative as well as a few medium sized musky. The young fellas that were here this week had several personal bests in terms of size and species. Here’s a few pictures from the past week……..
The past few days have been incredibly smoky with wind bringing down the smoke from forest fires further north. You know it’s smoky when you can’t see past Gull Rock!
How is this week’s fishing shaping up? Well, here’s Matt Haggart with two nice over the slot walleye from this morning!
A few bonus shots…
An addition to my fleet….a 73 Beetle with 25,000 miles on it. Presently sitting in my brother in laws garage in southern Ontario. Need to get it up here this summer. Wondering why I bought a Beetle? Had one when I was 18….it was a 74….paid $2995.00, brand new!

This is a first class resort located on Vermillion Bay on Eagle Lake. The cabins are very clean and well kept. The boats are new with new motors and are in great shape. The owner will also clean your fish for you after your day on the water. Make no mistake the fishing on Eagle Lake is world class.
The Lodge is owned by Gord and Susanne Bastable who will make you feel welcome and before you know it you feel like family. They are the best of hosts. The atmosphere is low key and laid back leading to a great vacation.
This is my 19th year of enjoying the hospitality of the lodge and i can’t think of going anywhere else on Eagle Lake.
