Heading to the in-laws cabin this weekend.  Anyone know if the mayflies hatched?  Looking for any reports good or bad regarding fishing also.  Thanks!  BC

Was at Eagles Nest #3 last week and there were plenty of Mayflies around. Didn't fish very seriously but caught some nice smallmouth using a slip bobber and leach or crawler. Have fun!

Spent five days at the cabin.  Had two great days of catching eater eyes.  Tried snowbank for lakers and got one smallie.  Mayflies were hatching big time.  Lots of food in the water as perch hatch was coming on strong.  I guess we just got lucky.  The biting flies were horrible on snowbank.  Bug spray did nothing.  I turned on the thermacell and wouldn't ya know it, they slowly quit biting then took off.  I love that thing.

+1 for the thermacell!!!  Dont leave home without it!  Highly effective for those pesky black flies.

      2024-2025 Vermilion Ice Fishing

      By JerkinLips · Posted

      Beautiful day on Vermilion Sunday for the last day of walleye season.  Lots of people were fishing in portables, or out in the open.  Was entertaining watching many of the wheel and skid houses being pulled off of the lake.  Checked half a dozen spots where wheel houses were removed and didn't find any trash at all.  Sounds like people are getting the message.  I may go out on the lake when the snow is melted to do a further check and cleanup if needed.   Fishing was average for this time of the year.  Had a decent bite from 2pm to 4pm when I caught my biggest eye (pictured 22 inch).  Decent finish to a good season.  Now on to lake trout fishing.   Hope everyone had an enjoyable and successful ice fishing season.  Going to be a long time before this year's open water season.

      What a difference a day makes.  Fishing was very slow today.  Biggest I caught was only 13 inches.  Marked a lot of fish but couldn't get very many to bite.   The wind was very strong today and did cause a little bit of drifting, but travel is still good on the latke.  Just avoid the snow banks and drifts.  Saw one house get pulled off the lake, and didn't see any new houses come out before I left the lake at 4pm.  Lots of snowmobiles and trailers in Tower.  At least the city and lake will be busy with those.   Good luck fishing if you go out the last weekend of the winter season.
