Angling prospects for walleye are fairly
good in 2011. There are good numbers
of 13-15 inch walleye in the population,
especially on East Vermilion. Most of
these fish are from moderately strong
year classes produced in 2006 and 2007.
Fishing should also improve in the
Niles Bay area of West Vermilion. Good
numbers of 11-13 inch walleye were
sampled in that area. Anglers can
expect to catch fewer small walleye
than normal, due to poor reproduction
in 2008 and 2009. Prospects for
catching quality sized fish
(over 17 inches) are good, especially on
West Vermilion. There are high numbers
of walleye over 17 inches in the population from strong year classes produced in 2002 and 2003, however these larger fish must be released in order to comply with the special regulation on LakeVermilion.
In an effort to maintain fishing quality, the DNR implemented a
special regulation for walleye on Lake Vermilion in 2006. The
regulation is a 17-26 inch protected slot with one fish allowed over 26
inches, and includes a four fish bag limit. Anglers must immediately
return to the lake all walleye 17-26 inches long, inclusive. One
walleye over 26 inches long is allowed in the daily and possession
bag limit. Anglers fishing Lake Vermilion may only have 4 walleye
in their daily and possession limit. mn-DNR
