Arrowhead Chapter #48
The Arrowhead Chapter of Muskies, Inc. was founded in November 2001. We meet monthly (except during the summer) in Mountain Iron at the Sawmill bar & grill.
Lake Vermilion Minnesota is where our membership spends the majority of their time muskie fishing. We have a number of outings planned for the 2009 summer months, Please come and join us.
If your intrested in joining the Arrowhead chapter # 48 please fill out themembership application and mail it in or contact us at Arrowheadchapter@yahoo.com
Lake Vermiliom is well known as one of the most scenic lakes in
the country. You'll find rocky shoreline, weedy bays and sandy
beaches; hundreds of small bays and large areas of open water;
there's also miles of unfished wilderness shoreline. You can find
more information on Lake Vermilion by visiting the DNR website
The Minnesota DNR has played an important role in turning
Lake Vermilion into one of the premiere muskie fishing des-
tinations in the country. Members of the Arrowhead chapter
support our local DNR in their quest to maintain the trophy
muskie fishery we have today. With the added pressure the lake
receives during the summer months it's important to educate
anglers on proper techniques to handle these large fish with care,
there are more fish being caught now than ever before, proper
catch and release will insure we have a trophy muskie fishery for
years to come.
- Members also donate their time on various projects around Lake Vermilion;
- Surveyed shoreline vegetation and substrate for the Arrowhead Regional Development Center.
- GPS'd large leafed pondweed, tobacco cabbage, for future monitoring of rusty crawfish impacts.
- Helped at DNR muskie rearing ponds.
- Did awareness boat checks at public landings for exotic species.
- Guided youth for Lake Vermilion Muskie Challenge.
- 180 Rod & Reels donated to date, to area youth organizations.
