Crafting Unforgettable Fly Fishing Experiences
Embark on a journey with Vermilion Fly Guy, where my primary goal is to offer a distinctive and unforgettable fly-fishing experience. Whether you're a novice angler or a seasoned pro, I believe that catching a musky, pike, bass, or panfish on a fly rod is an exhilarating experience that hooks everyone, pun intended. My mission is to demystify the basics of fly casting and presentation, ensuring that even the inexperienced fly angler can enjoy the thrill of fly fishing.
Meet Your Guide
Allow me to introduce myself, Bob Cords, your guide at Vermilion Fly Guy. I've been exploring the waters of Lake Vermilion since the early 1980s. My passion for fly-fishing was ignited during high school in southern Wisconsin, initially targeting stream trout. Over the years, my love for the sport has evolved into a pursuit of all warm water species. If it swims, I find joy in catching it on a fly.
Perfect Location
As a full-time summer/fall resident on Niles Bay on Lake Vermilion, I have easy access to all areas of the lake, including the nearby Vermilion and Little Fork Rivers. During the doldrums of summer, these rivers provide more opportunities for aggressive fish. These waters are teeming with diverse fish species, providing the perfect backdrop for your fly-fishing adventure.
