Why is this man smiling?

Thank you! Can I have another?

Gord finds it a bit odd, but it really is possible to get tired of catching walleyes, pike and trout. I find it really relaxing to break up the week spending part of a day fishing perch. As the perchmaster has demonstrated, one can rack up impressive numbers in the spring. Its a bit more challenging in August, but there are plenty of perch to be had. One can simply lay back, in this case, on the floor, and enjoy the view of Gord filleting perch. Don’t let his grumpy demeanor fool you. He really enjoys the task.

August Perch

Billy was a bit agitated by the finicky perch and got a little hot under the collar. He ended up stripping down to his boxer shorts. Gord….there seems to be a recent theme here? You might notice the hernia that looks like Bill’s right arm. His wife allowed him to make the trip but insisted he couldn’t catch any big fish. Perch seemed like just the ticket.

I think the Professor is going to hit the walleyes hard but if his luck doesn’t change, urge him to give the perch a try, or just tell him to put on a happy face. When the Professor puts on a heavy layer of sun tan lotion, he often takes on this appearance. We need to find an appropriate hat to replace that Tilly hat.

If you’re looking for an outstanding vacation spot for the serious fisherman or a family get away you should consider Vermillion Bay Lodge on Eagle Lake, Ontario Canada. We have stayed at many lake resorts over the years, but none offer the simple pleasures of this one. The lake is large enough and holds enough fish for the most adventuresome fisherman and yet easy for local family fishing for young children. Bring your own boat or use one of the aluminum boats (20 hp) at the lodge. Boat dockage is well protected from the wind and allows easy access to the water.

What sets this lodge apart from most others is it is always clean, well kept with lots to do including paddle boats canoes, bon fires in the evenings and a just plain friendly atmosphere.
