Lake Vermilion Northern Fishing
Northern season opens May 14, 2011 and closes February 26, 2012
The Minnesota DNR and the Sportsmen's Club of Lake Vermilion cooperatively operate a controlled northern pike spawning area at Sunset Creek on the west end of the lake. The spawning area is stocked with brood fish and the water level is maintained at an optimal level for spawning and the production of fingerlings.
There is currently a protected slot of 24-36 inches, with one fish allowed over 36". All northerns of 24-36" in length must be immediately returned to the lake. Bag limit is 3 fish.
The largest northern released by a guest in 2010 was a 45" fish caught by Kevin Hubsmith the week of May 23.
