The rock bite is now in full swing, with lots of nice catches to be had! Read on for Patriot Guide’s Lake Vermilion, Minnesota June fishing report.
EAST END WALLEYES: The best bite for walleyes is on a slip-bobber and a leech in anywhere from 5 to 15 feet of water. Staying mobile is a big part of putting good numbers of fish in the boat. Sometimes this is a small move as far as fish sliding around the structure, and sometimes it’s a bigger move: going to another spot altogether. Except for a select few bites, the name of the game has been, and will continue to be, catching a couple, and moving on.
There are still some fish to be had Lindy Rigging the edges of holes in 20-30 feet of water, and along sand to mud transitions in 16-24 feet. This can be an easier bite to fish for someone who doesn’t have forward facing sonar to run around with.
WEST END WALLEYES: Much like the east side, the best bite is 5-15 feet of water on the rocks. Staying mobile is also a key factor, as you oftentimes will only catch a fish or two on a spot before it is time to keep moving.
There are some fish being caught on sand flats in 10-20 feet of water. Target these fish with Lindy rigs and a leech or a crawler at 0.5-0.7 mph. Following the wind can make a big difference in how many fish you catch when you are rigging.
We are almost to the middle of June and we are seeing it with the fishing! Learn more about our guides and how they first got started on Lake Vermilion – it’s a beautiful time to be out and we hope to see you soon!
