I was talking to a few people in Richmond today when i went to get some monster, and they were saying that the lake has been slow for everything. I have not fished it all year, but from what i was told, its been a tough beat.

It's been tought this summer. I haven't found many big bass fishing for eyes, which I normally do this time of year. The walleyes have been inconsistent. Sometimes good, other times very tough. Some nice gilles showing up on the weedline.

Good Luck!

How is the bass/walleye fishing on koronis in late september? More importantly, how is the boat traffic? That's what's keeping me off the lake during the summer months. But I definitely want to give it a try.

Like most of the lakes in the area the bite gets better and you'll have a lot less company.

Hey terryt - I just got back from koronis the 11th.

Caught lots of bass- mostly 12-14" and only a couple eyes - only kept one 20". Some 18-22" bass all biting the same- very short.

Had a couple decent perch mixed in.

I found a spot in 15-20' jigging crawlers or leeches through the weeds. Try to beat the crowd near the bouy by the 3rd island. Water temp very warm. Good luck- hope this helps.

I hit Koronis today and my first fish was a fat 21.5" smallie. Caught him in 14 fow. Lots of nice smallies suspended over deep water cahsing baitfish to the surface. Some nice eyes as well off the weed edge.

Good Luck!

Was on Koronis various times from 7/7 thru 7/21. The lake is full of small Largemouths along the weed edges. Can't remember seeing that many Largemouths in the past, almost a nusance. Quality eyes in 20 - 30 fow of water around 2nd and 3rd island on leeches and crawlers but that slacked off the week of 7/14 after days of wind. Got nice pike and an occasional very nice walleye fast trolling cranks in the outlet bay.

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
