Canyon Lake - Just North of Vermillion Bay

[BCM26]

Does anyone have any information on Canyon Lake? It is just North of Vermillion Bay.

Fished it in the summer - never in the winter - although I would love to. Spent a week in August 2003. Lots of structure - was easy to find the fish. Boated about a dozen Muskies (Largest was 48") and a ton of Walleyes (Biggest was 31"). Been looking forward to going back but just haven't had the time.

Tracker,

Thank you for the insight. Did you go to any of the portage lakes? I am planning a trip the week of June 21-28th.

Brian,

I sent you an email. I look forward to hearing back from you.

BCM26 - Never fished any of the portage lakes - there was plenty of action to keep us busy on the main lake. However, there is a small lake accessible through a shallow stream on the south east end across from the resorts. Found a few Walleyes and that 48" Muskie in there. Your resort should give you a homemade map that's got some of the hotspots and hazzards marked on it. Good Luck!!

I have fished it twice, the first time we managed only two muskies but caught a 32.5" walleye. The second was a tuff week of high winds with major cold fronts. We only boated two muskies again both very small. The lake has a lot of potential and the resorts are all very nice along with the owners being top notch.

Never been to Canyon but I just tryed to book a trip for the muskie opener 3rd sat in June and all 3 resorts were booked. The resort that I really wanted to stay at was Mcintosh Lodge but the first opening they had was late July. I guess I will have to go elsewhere and make a reservation there for Sept.

Looks like an Unbelievable lake for Walleyes bass and Muskies, can't wait to get up there, if anyone knows of a place to stay for the week June 21, please let me know!

In looking for a cabin to stay at I looked at the following link. I am going to Blyth's Resort on July 5-12. Hopefully we will have some luck. Any additional feedback on this lake is appreciated.

Hey 10,000 Casts, If you are still looking for a cabin on muskie opener I have 1 4 man housekeeping cabin left. We are on lower manitou and we offer some of the best muskie fishing around.
