I am looking for some recommendations for walleye guides on Vermillion. I would like to take my dad out with a guide at the end of June. Our place is on Head of Lakes Bay so preferrably one from the west side. But I know you have to go where the fish are biting so I'm open to East or West.

Thanks~

The end of June should still have a decent walleye bite on the West end. Check the Lake Vermilion web site for a list of the West and East end guides.

I highly reccomend Doug Knore, Joe Panichi, or Buck Lescarbeau.

Casey, one of the moderators on this forum, also has started guiding on the West end. cool

If you decide to fish the East end Casey,Paul, and I all guide on this end.

Terry 'Ace' Sjoberg of Ace guide service would be one of my top choices. Good guy and many many years of expierience on Lake Vermillion.

Cliff would be right up there too, and if he mentions Doug, Joe, Buck I'd reckon they must know whats up.

All of the above would get you into fish. In addition Phil Bakken for the east end and Bill Rosner for the west end are excellent guides. You can't hardly go wrong with any of them.

Doug Knore is good on the West End. We had him guide for a us a few years ago and liked him so much we are having him guide for us again at the end of the month.

Didn't he get a full time job somewhere as a caretaker or something?

Not only a great guide but a top notch guy that really cares for the resource, these are the types people should really support!

Joe Panichi, Doug Knoer, or Billy Rosner (check out the April Walleye In-Sider). These guys are excellent guides, and you won't find anyone you would rather spend the day in a boat with.

I'll second Doug's recommendations. I've fished with all of them, and they are all top notch! Have a great time!

If you would ask me an most people do.... I would say the one an only Zim Flimmer is the best on the west...makes these other guys look like... well dead bait.

He is not easy to find so the hunt for him is just as fun a fishen with him.

Hulk of a man with a shock o red hair like the fires of hell itself an a blazing personality to match.

Oh yeah Zim Flimmer is the man.

I thought it was a guy named Zeep Zickau? Doesnt he have a dock where theres never any fish around it?Thats why he started guiding had to get away from it in order to catch fish!

      Boy this wind is something. I was going to go deer hunting for the early doe season but the wind is a little strong.

      My electronics often say that I am on land when I'm on the water. Trust is a two-way street!

      Fishing is still pretty good.  Went with a friend and the dog yesterday for about 5 hours, managed 19 largemouth and 10 pike.  I normally don't take photos of pike but several of these fish were on the larger side and quite thick so they made the cut.  One of these days my fishing season is going to be over but for now the fish are still cooperating.

      On our fall trip, we saw many examples of downed trees on Pine Island. Small trees being cut with chain saw and piled. Any insight on project?

      On the South End...  Fall fishing on Lake of the Woods is excellent right now.  The colder water temps have the fish snapping.     Walleyes and saugers are being caught in a variety of locations across the south shore from 20 to 27 feet.  Water temps are in the low to mid 50's. Jigging with frozen, or live emerald shiners is catching a pile of fish.  Anchor up and jig over the side of the boat.  Typically, lots of small fish to sort through but you will get your keepers along with some larger walleyes. Jig colors to consider are gold, glow white, glow red, chartreuse, orange, and pink.  Gold combined with any one of these colors is often a good choice.   On the Rainy River... The river continues to get better and better with more walleyes moving in each week.  Good fish being caught in many sections of the river.  The morning and evening hours have had the best bite. Walleyes are actually being caught using three methods.  Jigging with frozen or live emerald shiners, pulling spinners and trolling crankbaits.  15 - 25 feet of water has been the norm. Sturgeon fishing continues to pick up as the water cools.  The "Catch and Release" sturgeon season is in place right now.  The river holds a myriad of species of fish.  Crappies, pike, smallmouth bass, suckers, bullheads and even an eelpout or two are being caught up and down the river.   Four Mile Bay is also holding some nice walleyes as they make their way in from the lake.  Various areas on the edge of the current and channel break are good spots to begin. Up at the NW Angle... Another great week of fall fishing up at the Angle.  Walleyes are keying in on various areas with structure.  Points, neck down areas with some current and transition areas from rock to mud are good right now. Walleyes are the most sought after but in the fall, lots of muskie and crappie anglers are around as well.  Good reports on a variety of species including jumbo perch and pike as the waters cool.      Put on some warm fall clothes, make sure your camera is ready and make some incredible fall fishing memories.  There is still time to get in that last fall trip.
