Can anyone provide fishing info about this lake, Is it a good early of late season lake(for walleye)? Water clarity, recreational boating traffic? Does it have a good landing? Also, other than Walleye, what other species are in the lake.

Any information would be appreciated, Thanks

Its a tough bite on Blue, there are big fish in there but they VERY rarely get caught. The old guys tell me its a fall lake but i have never done great out there. there are also a fair number of trout in the lake. they can be tough to catch but every 3 or 4 years they stock it and its a hoot. over all i think your better served to fish potato if you want to catch walleyes.

Thanks Muskybug85, I was wondering why I had never heard much about this lake.

a fellow co-worker of mine grew up and lives on lake; I will echo what Jonah already mentioned. There are some big fish in there, but are very difficult to catch. You probably haven't heard much on Blue because there are many other lakes in the area where the bite isn't as tough. Good Luck!

I do pretty good on blue the trick is night fish it. Daytime go deep 20-25 when you think 12-15 its clear so think deep.

      Lots of snow is drifting up around all of the fish houses.  Plus the weight of heavy wheel houses and large trucks parked by them all add up.  1½ inches of water coming onto the ice isn't very bad.  One year I had over 5 inches come up to the bottom of my fish house floor.  Lucky it didn't freeze in that year.

      The fish are growing faster than expected, taking up more space 🤪

      why would the water be coming up above the ice with little to no snow weight????

      9 days since my last trip to Vermilion (took a side trip into the BWCAW).  Had 22 inches of ice so we added 4 more in 9 days.  Water came up on the ice about 1½ inches so I had to block the house up.  Travel on the lake was very good, even with my front wheel drive car.  There are two main roads leaving McKinley Park landing; one on either side of the staked snowmobile trail.  Either of those roads would provide good access to fishing spots, but please stay away from the snowmobile trail and pull quite a way off the plowed road to avoid flooding the road.   Fishing was decent for mid January.  Best bites for me were 9:00-11:20 and 3:45-4:45.  All of my walleyes were 11-14 inches.  I lost one about 16 inches lifting it out of the hole.  Dang.  Vermilion Fuel and Food didn't have rainbow chubs so I stuck with lively chubs.  Didn't even try a single pike sucker that I had left from lake trout fishing.  Maybe next trip up.  The bonus today was a beautiful sunset.   Good luck fishing and be prepared for the cold weather this weekend.

      Looks like a close match to Ditch Pickle green 😉

      Good luck and keep warm!   Maybe a big ol bass would help there?!

      Okay then I'll try this again. We just need another cold blast....and then another couple feet of snow.   Nice haul. That whitefish is a beauty.

      Tried Pearl lake today.  Had fish in every hole I drilled. Just not active. Only one nice sunfish that fell off at top of the hole. Several very small perch and sunnies.  Did land a huge bass that was a challenge on light line. 15-18 inches of ice.  Sounds like a cold day Saturday coming up. I'll be at the annual Eden Valley sportsman fishing contest.
