I’m sure that everyone has been patiently awaiting the second half of our report from Sportsmans Lodge on Little Vermilion Lake, but you aren’t going to get it today… Instead, we’ve rewritten the entire thing, added some more of our story, more photos, and fixed some of the photos that we posted were for the wrong days (camera’s internal date was a day off). So with all those fixes, and more Little Vermilion content on it’s way, you are now free to read the entire Little Vermilion Lake 2007 Fishing Fury report.

Reporting live from the great north at Little Vermilion Lake. We are half way through our trip and currently sitting outside in the cold using the wireless connection here to make a quick update. The weather has not been the greatest but we have still been putting fish in the boat. Click the image below to view the pictures and report.
UPDATE! Instead of having a part two to this article, it has been rewritten and republished as a single mega article! You can still click the image below to take you there. Enjoy!
Hot on the re-release of our galleries I’ve just updated them with 2 more days at our fly-in trip to Little Vermilion Lake and Sportsmans Lodge. Day two was our first day to freely roam around the lake and cast everywhere we pleased and start building a pattern for monster pike. On day three Clive made a quick start to the day by landing the largest fish of our voyage in the early afternoon. There’s still three more days to go and at least one more gallery for road trip photos including a few shore fishing stops along the way.
For the last few years, I have looked forward to early June and hearing reports from our friend Connie Inman. Connie drives thousands of miles each year to experience some of the best northern pike fishing Canada has to offer. Last year Jon and I were fortunate enough to fish side by side with Connie and learn from his tremendous knowledge of pike fishing. This year we couldn’t make the trip to Sportsman’s Lodge, but Connie did and he sent us a couple photos of some of the beautiful pike he caught this spring. Connie claims that the pike were not as heavy as they have been in previous years, (probably because of the unusual weather this year) but he managed to catch a pike over forty inches long almost everyday he fished.
Connie Inman is definitely a hero of fishing here at Fishing Fury. In true fury style, Connie has been travling nearly 3,000 miles, 3 times a year, to the remote Canadian wilderness in search of nothing more than his greatest passion, trophy Pike fishing. When Clive and I first met Connie it was through the Ontario Fishing Network, where those who know him, consider him to be a king of Pike. Connie’s kingdom of Pike is the small 14 mile Little Vermillion Lake, just north of Red Lake, Ontario, and can only be reached by a small bush plane. It wasn’t long before the pictures of Connie’s monsterous Pike and his great personality led Clive and I to book our trip to Little Vermillion through Sportsman’s Lodge, the same service Connie uses.
The trip was a total success and it was all thanks to Connie, he bestowed a great deal of his knowledge on us in a crash course guide around the lake our first day.

Read the article on Connie Inman by the Tennessean.
And of course this wouldn’t be a complete entry without a least one monster pike from Little Vermillion Lake.
