Fishing

Walleyes, northern pike, muskies and panfish will all gather on the edge of the weeds during the day, and sometimes the panfish will suspend out away from the weeds. You can often see them dimpling the surface as they feed on bugs that are on the surface.

Lake Vermilion:

 Most walleye anglers are focusing their efforts around the Frazier Bay area using nightcrawlers with slipbobbers at around 10 feet off weed edges. Muskie action has been outstanding around the Vermilion Dam area using topwater baits. Bass and bluegills are at shallow depths using worms or leeches. The Vermilion and Little Fork rivers also are producing good walleye and bass action using leeches or crawlers on weed edges.

Eagle River

SMALLMOUTH BASS: Fish hardbottom areas, such as rock piles, and off of break edges in 20 feet of water or less. Use a plastic tube or crawfish, Senko rigged wacky, a small Mepps spinner, or a jig and a minnow or leech. All day action and the bite is good to excellent.

Thousand Islands

Thousand Islands (St. Lawrence River) : "A more picturesque fishing destination you will not find. It seems for each of the islands poking out of his section of the St. Lawrence, a dozen 5-pound smallies exist. It took 50-10 to win a September BFL event here, and you had to average more than 18 pounds over the two days to be in the Top 10. And this is more than a trophy fishery, as you will likely be tired of setting the hook and fighting better-than-average brown bass at the end of the fishing day."
