The Fish
I guide on the East End, (Big Bay) area of Lake Vermilion.

Lake Vermilion is home to abundant populations of a wide variety of fish – northern pike, perch, crappie, sunfish, large/small mouth bass and musky.

But, if Walleyes are what you’re looking for, you’ve come to the right guide.

Nothing tastes better than fresh Northern Minnesota walleye. Join me for a fishing trip for walleye on Lake Vermilion in northern Minnesota. Book early as my schedule is filling fast.

The best fishing months are:
May through October – September and October usually produce the bigger walleyes.

Mornings and evenings are usually the best fishing time, but the mid-day bite can also prove to be very good.

The average walleye on Lake Vermilion has been running at approximately 14 to 17 inches long, but the chance of a real wall hanger is feasible. They are out there!

Limits are common on most outings.
