Vermillion Lake is a 397-acre lake located north of Remer, MN that has 5.04 miles of shoreline and a maximum depth of 27 feet. There is a US Forest Service public access on the northwest shore off of USFS Road #2112. The DNR has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different classes based on physical, chemical and other characteristics. Vermillion Lake is in Lake Class 31; lakes in this class are regularly shaped lakes.

The northern pike gill-net catch rate was similar to the expected range for similar lakes. Few fish exceeded 24 inches though fish up to 32 inches were sampled. The walleye gill-net catch rate was similar to the expected range. Size structure was good with a number of fish between 14 and 19 inches. Historically, the lake has been supported by a combination of natural reproduction and stocking. The bluegill trap-net catch rate was similar to the expected range for similar lakes. Size structure ranged from 3 to 9 inches with few fish larger than 8 inches. The black crappie gill-net catch rate was higher than the expected range for similar lakes. Size structure ranged from 5 to 11 inches with few fish exceeding 10 inches.
Other fish species that are available to anglers are black bullhead, bowfin, brown bullhead, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed sunfish, rock bass, white sucker, yellow bullhead, and yellow perch.

Anglers can help maintain or improve the quality of fishing by practicing selective harvest. Selective harvest allows for the harvest of smaller fish for table fare, but encourages release of medium- to large-sized fish. Releasing these fish can help maintain balance in the fish community in Vermillion Lake and provide anglers the opportunity to catch more and larger fish in the future.

Vermillion Lake is not currently known to be infested with any aquatic invasive species (AIS). To avoid spreading AIS, lake users should inspect and remove any aquatic plants or animals from their watercraft and drain all water from their boat away from the landing prior to launching and again before leaving the access. If you suspect you may have discovered a new infestation of an invasive species, save a specimen and report it to a local natural resource office. Additional information on AIS prevention and awareness, including the problems they cause, can be found on the DNR website (www.dnr.state.mn.us).

Shoreline habitat consists of aquatic plants, woody plants and natural lake bottom soils. Plants in the water and at the water's edge provide habitat, prevent erosion and absorb excess nutrients. Shrubs, trees, and woody debris such as fallen trees or limbs provide good habitat both above and below the water and should be left in place. By leaving a buffer strip of natural vegetation along the shoreline, property owners can reduce erosion, help maintain water quality, and provide habitat and travel corridors for wildlife.
