Mile 5 (Abram Lake) boat launch. Municipality of Sioux Lookout website
Saturday is the day thousands of us have been waiting for as a new walleye season opens.
Fishing is allowed under the current stay-at-home order.
The Municipality of Sioux Lookout reminds residents that permits are required to park, launch a boat, or fish from the dock at local boat launches.
These include:
-Superior Junction
-Sturgeon River Road
-West Point Cove
-Abram Lake Mile 5
-Botham’s Bay on Big Vermilion
-Hudson Boat Launch
-Big Vermilion West of Hudson
-Butterfly Lake
-Deception Bay
Fees are the same as last year at $7 per day, $25 per week, or $50 for the entire season.
Right now permits can be picked up at Anderson’s Lodge, DJ’s Gas Bar, Mascotto’s Marina, and River’s Edge Outfitters.
Officials warn that water levels remain low in Sioux Lookout area lakes and you should use extreme caution when launching your boat.
Due to the low levels, docks won’t be going in at all boat launch locations at this time.
