Greetings to all the friends of VBL…….we hope your Christmas preparations are going smoothly! The above photo is a view of the lodge you’re probably not familiar with. It’s actually a view from the other side of the creek. With the recent dump of snow some of the lake has turned a bit slushy….not a favorite of the dogs. This back door walking path avoids that issue. Perhaps some doggy rubber boots for Christmas?
Current conditions at the lodge with plenty of new fallen snow. The wind blown stuff really highlights the log construction of these three cabins.
Some smoke from the fireplace, wood pellets piled by the door, and a walkway waiting to be shoveled.
Every year I send out our newsletter around this time. Until last year this was a printed version mailed out……a bit old school. Well, last year we had a mail strike and things kind of went by the wayside. This year we decided to try and gather everyone’s email address so that we could reach more of our guests. What I’m getting at is that I’ve emailed the latest version of the Beaver but I’m sure some people have missed out or the email has landed in their junk folder. If you haven’t received one then maybe check your trash bin. If it’s not there then we probably didn’t have your email address…….please let me know if you want me to resend by shooting me an email at vbay@drytel.net. I will forward you the latest action packed Beaver!
One thing I should mention that was incorrect in the newsletter, and that was the dates for our last week we are open in 2026. It should have read September 26 to October 3rd. So if you’re interested in catching the last few days of the lake trout season, or wanting to try some late season musky fishing…..or any type of fishing for that matter, give us a shout. Don’t wait too long though, things are booking fast. Here’s an interesting photo from this year around that time…
We wish you all the best for this Christmas and for the coming New Year. Stay warm, stay calm……
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.
