Lake Vermilion · Tower, Minnesota
Lake Vermilion is one of Minnesota's great fishing lakes — and Muskego Point puts you right on the water. Your dock is steps from your door.
Lake Vermilion has been drawing serious anglers to northeastern Minnesota for generations. At 40,000 acres with 365 islands and 290 miles of shoreline, it offers an almost endless variety of structure — deep rocky points, submerged reefs, weedy bays, and clear open water.
Muskies to 55 inches. Walleyes past 30. Northern pike pushing 20 pounds. Smallmouth bass and crappie rounding out one of the best multi-species fisheries in the state. The lake opens in May and fishes well through October.
To 55 inches
Lake Vermilion is Minnesota muskie country. Trolling and casting big presentations near rocky structure in early summer and fall.
Past 30 inches
Evening jigging along deep rock piles and points. Consistent action throughout the season. The classic Minnesota fish.
To 20+ pounds
Weedy bays and narrows hold big northerns. Aggressive fighters on light tackle. Great action early and late season.
Exceptional fights
Rocky shorelines and gravel points hold strong smallmouth populations. Pound for pound, hard to beat for summer sport fishing.
Great on the pan
Spring and early summer crappie fishing in the bays and off the docks. Excellent for families and light-tackle enthusiasts.
