Vermilion Fish Drop (VON)
The Vermilion River Fish Drop takes place on April 25 at 10 am. 50,000 fingerlings are poured into the wild Vermilion River. Join the crowd at the South Street Launch Ramp to see this phenomenal event, then relax and enjoy our friendly little town.
The Division of Wildlife annually stocks five Lake Erie tributary streams with 6-8" yearling Little Manistee River (Michigan) strain of steelhead. These fish migrate out into Lake Erie and spend the summer in the cooler part of the lake, before returning to streams during the fall through the spring. The Vermilion River is scheduled to receive 55,000 steelhead.
The stocking will take place at the Vermilion Public Ramp and will be attended by representatives from the Dept of Wildlife, ODNR, Vermilion Port Authority, and local officials.
