Location is key to catching fish on any lake, and the same holds true for Lake Vermillion. LakeVermillion.com recommends fishing for walleyes around the rocks during the day and in the mud near the shore at night; and also recommends fishing for pike in the reeds near the shoreline, above 28 feet deep.
According to Minnesota Fishing, fishing thrives during the months of May through September. Fish will be most active during the summer months due to the higher temperatures and the cold-blooded nature of the fish that inhabit Lake Vermillion.
LakeVermillion.com recommends using leeches and nightcrawlers to fish for walleye and pike. Artificial lures that mimic these prey can also be used with varying degrees of effectiveness, according to LakeVermillion.com
