Revenge of the Chubby Darter….

The perch coloured Salmo “Chubby Darter” was a lucky lure for me this weekend as I managed to catch a few perch, two lake trout and a nice northern within site of the lodge. All the activity was in 6 to 8 feet of water at the secret perch hole. Apparently some of the bigger fish find the perch a tasty snack. The larger of the two trout shown here was about 8 pounds (released) and the smaller probably 5 pounds. I’ve had luck with this lure in the past and it is a great vertical jigging lure, winter or summer.

By the way, the gulls have returned to Gull Rock……..a sure sign that Spring can’t be too far away. Unfortunately the 3 feet of ice I had to auger through says otherwise.

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.
