This has been one of the more unusual springs in terms of weather. Water temperatures and weed growth are all several weeks behind. This past week was probably the climax in terms of bass spawning with some hot and heavy action especially back on some of the portage lakes. The Wilson group who went back to Caribou twice last week reported some fantastic action. Walleye fishing is finally starting to establish some normal patterns.

The Perkis group has normally done very well trolling for musky (they caught 14 several years ago) but struggled to put one in the net this year.

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.
