Another great week of fishing! Tom and Kathy from Indiana caught 10 walleye 21 to 28" in length in just under 2 1/2 hours while out with the guide Doug. Way to go!

September 14, 2010

September started out with a very tough fishing bite but with in the past week guests have been catching some big Northerns. Caught and released were 36", 39" , 42" and 44" northerns and some keeper walleyes. Check out these northerns that were caught in the past few days!

PRE-FISHING OPENER SPECIAL

We have had about four weeks of above normal temperatures. The snow depth is much less than usual for this time of year. If mild conditions continue, we should see an early ice-out on Vermilion.

The projected early ice-out in combination with a later than average opener have inspired us to offer a pre-opener special. Fisherpeople and others looking for an early getaway are invited to experience Vermilion and Pehrson Lodge May 7-14 (two day minimum, checkout by 14th) for 1/2 of spring rates. Cabin and boat rental rates are included.

This is one our favorite times of the year. It is an ideal time to check out Vermilion. The lake is quiet and the pan fish fishing can be good. Please remember that walleye, northern, musky and bass seasons are still closed.
