Lake Vermillion

 Cool looking rock from our shore lunch site on Lake Superior.

 Superior feather~

 Many colored rocks from shore lunch site.

 Kerry this is for you. It is a baked pie with beef, potatoes, onions and rutabaga we were told.

 I did it! We stopped and had a pasty. Pronounce Pass-Tee so they said..

 And I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!!!!!!!

 Long nose. =)

 Lake Superior with my favorite beach spot looming in the background.

 KC's spinnerbait bass.

 Cormorant nesting and stinky!

 

Yup! That's right largemouth at Vermillion.

 This is how they get their dock structures out of harm's way from the ice in winter.

 So we get the bright idea that we're going to catch crawdads by using bacon on a hook.  Well to say the least, it worked!

 The results: I had one. Too much work for so little meat. So he feasts! Been watching too many "Survivor" shows.

 The color of the smallmouths here was amazing.  True Vermillion in color.

 Paper wasp nest.  Pretty sure it was empty, but didn't want to find out!

 Mayfly hatch!

 To the max a million!

 Fish weren't biting all that well so I took pictures. Just enjoy~

 Ice houses for when the lake freezes over. My lens wasn't wide enough to get them all.

 This one had the best cheek bars ever. Small mouth, big body.

 Huff and Puff hill! No seriously, they had a sign, but I missed it on camera.

 Birch trees. What they make the canoes from.

 I guess we are pretty spoiled. When you're used to catching 50-75 smallmouths a day, some days even 100. Maybe catching 15-25 a day at Vermillion.  Well, we both know it's time to move on down the road.
