Lake Vermilion Ice Fishing

Winter walleye, perch, northern and bluegill fishing offers a tremendous opportunity to experience the beautiful solitude of a Lake Vermilion Minnesota winter. Cozy shelters keep everyone warm, and there's nothing like the thrill of pulling your catch up through three feet of ice. Try it!

Smiling girl on an ice fishing trip Feb. 19-21, 2011 is Take-A-Kid Ice Fishing Weekend in Minnesota. The idea behind these three "free" days of fishing is to introduce children and even some adults to one of the state's most popular wintertime outdoor activities. During Take-A-Kid Ice Fishing Weekend, anglers 18 and older do not need a license if they are accompanied by a child younger than 16 and are actively participating in Take-A-Kid Ice Fishing Weekend.
