Spring, 2010
Spring came early to the Northland - March had NO Snow and minimal rain during April
brought Fire Danger to a scary level and fortunately we had only one fire run.
The ice went out April 1st, the earliest we have seen in 32 years! The weather
remained warm and dry through most of May, sending lake temps to earlier highs
and weed growth abundance to new records and providing fishermen many new
experiences to try different techniques. June has been a cooler/rainy month
and similar to normal patterns. The mayfly hatch is in the usual patterns, but
there is hope for a smaller hatch due to the crazy March-April-May weather we
have experienced.
We are looking forward to the summer season and seeing familiar faces and new
ones. We anticipate the change of the Fall Fishing Tournament to Labor Day
weekend ... providing the opportunity for many of us to attend the UND vs.
Northern IL game on 9-11, after the Tournament! GO SIOUX!!, sorry!!! The
beach is ready for those in search of the sun; the docks are ready for those
looking to escape for that day of fishing and enjoying the thrills of the hunt;
the woods are full of wildlife to watch as our fox raises her little ones; and
Maggie has her puppies on July 25 the Life of Riley Resort Summer Christmas!
We have various cabin availabilities for those in search of a Vacation Retreat
with the quiet solitude of the Northland. In fact----guests that refer another
week cabin guest have the opportunity to choose a customized Life of Riley Resort
Ambassador Jacket or 10% off their 2010 cabin rental. Please have the new guest
mention your referral to help us so we can contact you for your option decision.
Lake Vermilion continues to harbor quiet fishing haunts where the loon call and
wolf howls pierce the air. The majestic eagle soars overhead while bear, moose,
and deer can be seen foraging the shoreline. Life of Riley remains a sanctuary
for families and fishermen to enjoy the bounty of nature and the comradery of
family and friends. We look forward to hearing from you and your friends. Life
is an Adventure - come live it at the Life of Riley Resort.
