Scott Stroupe, from the Twin Cities, has been a regular at Vermilion Bay Lodge for a number of years….always during the middle of June for an action packed 4 days of fishing Eagle Lake. This year a bigger group with the addition of several rookies………from L to R … Scott, Dean, Wade, Steve, Dave, John, Kerry and Craig (kneeling).
Hwy 594 and the axle decides to break loose from Kerry’s trailer! This is bad luck, but fortunately no damage to the boat, or to anyone else! Call to the lodge and a rescue is facilitated. Now, if this was the middle of the night, full of mosquitoes, on some desolate stretch of nowhere…..
Some serious equipment comes into play………..
Thank you Bert’s……and driver Rocky!
A nice touch…..launch the boat and trailer. The latter heads to the scrap yard….the former down the lake to the lodge….
…where fishing sombreros are donned and shopping bags poised. Nice outfit Craig! Let the fishing trip to Eagle Lake begin!
Scott, finally on the water! Will this trip have a happy end? Stayed tuned for Part 2 of the June fishing trip to Eagle Lake……..
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.
