Susanne and I decided to check out a few spots that produce walleye in the early spring here on Eagle Lake hoping we would run into a congregating horde of walleye. We were rewarded with some nice scenery, some fish on the locator, a number of tentative bites that I chalked up to perch, and this feisty yearling. Perhaps the timing of trying mid-day would be more productive during the late afternoon……we will try these spots another time.
One of the great things about where we are located on Eagle Lake are the number of portage lakes that can be accessed via trail and snowmobile. Most of these are great lake trout lakes that cannot be reached by road. Teggau Lake is one that we sometimes fish and is one of the deepest lakes in our area…..over 500 feet deep! Story has it that a plane crash some years back ended up with divers being unsuccessful in locating the wreck in the depths….but reports of diver vs. huge lake trout have since circulated. Susanne and I had an enjoyable day…
A great end to an Eagle Lake ice fishing day. Fresh lake trout!
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.
