Walleye Opener 2011…
The “walleye opener” on Eagle Lake was memorable here at Vermilion Bay Lodge…..even if you weren’t fishing! The Martinson group from Winnipeg seemed to enjoy the long weekend visiting, playing horseshoes and taking in the scenery.
Weather for the walleye opener was all over the map… sun, rain, warm, cold… in other words, a fairly normal opening week. Fishing was constantly changing as well. Water temperatures fell during the week creating some interesting opportunities for species such as lake trout.
From fishing Eagle Lake for the various species, to getting back into Clearwater Lake for trout, portaging into some of the “back lakes” for bass …it was an interesting week. Thank you to all of our guests and friends who spent the week with us!

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.
