Mother nature threw us a curveball this week and dumped a bunch of rain on us, the lake rose over a foot in 24 hours and it's still rising this morning. Even with all the rain and high water our guests at Retreat lodge were able to catch a few jumbo walleye in Lake Vermilion.

And the big ones continue to bite!

Happy Easter to all. May you and your family have a joyful day.

Mother nature is kind to us this spring, this has to be the earliest we've ever put our docks in.

Timberjay says REGIONALā€” Anglers should find exceptional numbers of eating-sized walleye on Lake Vermilion this year, based on results of the annual fall sample netting conducted by the Department of Natural Resources. The strong year class in 2016 appears to have bolstered Vermilionā€™s walleye population. In fact, the fall 2020 sample netting produced an average of 20.4 walleye per net, the highest average walleye catch recorded in the 37 years the annual sampling has been done on Lake Vermilion. At the same time, the DNR reports evidence that both 2018 and 2019 also produced strong year classes, which are contributing large numbers of smaller walleye, some of which may be harvest-sized by this summer. The increase in walleye numbers was apparent across the lake. The walleye catch rate of 23.3 fish/net in the east basin ranked as the third highest catch rate historically on the lakeā€™s east end. A catch rate of 16.0 fish/net was the second highest catch rate on record on west Vermilion. The latest results appear to suggest that the low walleye numbers and overabundance of older walleye on the lakeā€™s west end may have turned around as a result of recent strong year classes. The high walleye numbers came even as the lake experienced substantial fishing pressure last year. The average length of walleyes captured in the gill-net survey was about 14 inches. It was the smallest average size since 2008, which can be attributed to the large numbers of younger walleye from recent strong year classes entering the catchable size range. These fish should provide substantial catch and harvest opportunities over the next several years, according to the DNR. Additionally, high catch rates of fish 20 inches and larger will continue to provide memorable catch opportunities throughout the lake while also ensuring plenty of brood stock.
