Lake Vermilion misc shots

[Dbl]

Just spent a relaxing week at Lake Vermilion, first part for family gathering, second relaxation (fishing). Here are a few images from my week out of the many taken. Fishing was very good, numerous walleyes, smallmouth (20" largest), but no muskies for me

Greeted with a thunderstorm early one morning as we got up to fish.

1.

And no I did not play around with the saturation on this one, it is mostly as I shot.

2.

Boat houses on Stuntz Bay taken at mid-morning but for some reason I found it interesting.

3.

There are more loons on that lake than you can shake a stick at. These guys did not want me close, so I obliged them though I would have preferred a much closer shot.

4.

5.

The sunrises and sunsets are more than worth getting up for in the morning or staying up for at night. Not sure these do them justice, but a small sampling non the less.

6.

7.

8.

Hope to be back up there in a few weeks for more fishing action, maybe a muskie then

We got hit hard with a bad storm last Monday, sunk a few boats at the resort I was at, knocked down trees, some small hail, it was as nasty a storm I have been through in quite some time. These clouds were actually from the day before, they just missed us.

That is the way all the northern lakes are this year. I have seen more loons this summer than I ever have in the past.

They must be making a big recovery after that lead ban went into effect

Good Pics.

You should see up on trout lake. The loons are so loud at night its impossible to sleep. Groups of about 30! its insane. And they always seem to float infront of our campsites.

Those are some beautiful shots DBL.I really like the second storm shot.

[Dbl]

Sledneck you are right, the loons were howling all night at the cabin on the east end we were at. They were smaller groups of about 4 to 8, but they could make some noise. Thank goodness I was tired from wrestling fish in the boat all day long

I find the #3 boathouse pic an interesting subject as well....maybe because it is a lot more interesting that the newer boatlifts the litter the modern shoreline. Some different lighting and composing might make it pop a little more.

I like, I like. Great set of shots that makes one feel the need to get back on Vermilion.

These are beautiful... we used to fish on Vermilian when I was a kid. I love that second cloud formation and the first sunrise. Nice work!
