Hey all. First post on this site. Was wondering if any of you have been on Koronis lately. How's the ice and the walleye bite? Was thinking of heading out there early tomorrow morning for some eyes. I've never fished this lake but have heard good things. Any spots which are consistent producers - any other lakes in the area which are producing eyes? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thaddeus first off welcome to the site! I was out on Koronis about a week ago right before the warm spell and had 8-10 inches of ice, I would assume its still around that mark but not certain. Walleye fishing has been sporadic out there this winter, but I'm not surprised it got hit hard this summer and pressure and harvest took it's toll frown I would pick up a lake map and look it over right now I have been finding the eyes are slipping a little deeper. Look for saddles and inside turns and you will find some fish.

I was on Koronis last sunday in the fog went out from the Hwy55 aces and found 8-10 inches of ice on the main lake seen a lot of ppl spearing and getting some nice pike. I will be going out tomorrow but will be trying around the islands.

Posted

made it out again today for a few hours trucks driving out on some bays I found 8-10" of ice in the spots I fished managed to get 2eyes and some perch all went back into the water for another day.

Posted

Trucks on 8to10?That means 5to6 or less in some spots..........pushing your luck with full size vehicles!Hopefully everyone has a good day fishing not a bad day swimming!!c63

Anybody been out lately? Going out this weekend and wondering about ice thickness and if theres any spots worth trying? Never fished here before so just wondering if anyone could help with depths or anything. I've heard by the islands but thats it. Thanks

I was out last night 5pm-10pm on the south side of the lake fished in 30fow did really good on eyes but the only thing they wanted was a plane red glow hook with a fathead 2-3ft off the bottom they came in groups every 30-45min the flasher would light up next time I will bring the aqua vu 8fish biggest was close to (28" C&R) took two 18" home for the pan.

I also seen on the wjon HSOforum that a wheeler went through the ice out by the islands yesterday use CAUTION ppl their are big heaves out on koronis one from 3rd island to the shore and between the islands the ice is always thin.

Posted

Went out again yesterday from Vets Park did ok fishing just want to give a big thanks to the guy who was going out the same time that I was he hooked my house up to his wheeler and pulled me out to the islands and put me on a good spot much appreciated.

Posted

Matt, do you do well after 6pm usually? I'm always off the ice at 5 pm and just curious. Didn't think a late bite would be good that deep. Also, are you fishing the bottom of a steep ridge? Or large deep basins?

Posted

Sartell I sent u a PM hope that helps you.

Posted

Couldn't keep the perch off the line today, anywhere from 5-18 feet on point breaks into deeper water, seem pretty shallow. Just wondering where people are finding gators or eyes lately, don't need peoples honey holes but would love general areas and depths. have a friend in from Switzerland and he wants to compare pike. Any help would be great! PM or otherwise!

We were on Koronis this past weekend. We were fishing in 34' of water. Caught a few walleyes.

      I moved the clips on the jet needles up to the top groove to lean it out.  This eliminated the mid-range bog and the sled accelerates well even when warm.  The plugs are not quite dark now, but look good.  I'll have to rebuild the Mikuni carbs this summer for the permanent solution.  I'll also repair or replace the primary clutch to eliminate that issue.  Thanks for all of the suggestions.

      No.  I tried posting a 15 second video a while back in the accepted MP4 format and it wouldn’t play.  It sucks.

      On the South Shore...  There is still some ice fishing taking place by some hardcore ice anglers, but most have called it a good year.  For those still getting out on the ice, fishing has been good.  Most resort ice accesses have been closed for the year.  Safety first always.   Ditches are running along the south end of the lake which means water is running into the bays.  Moving water will soon pop open the bays and anglers will be out open water targeting huge pike while they head to spawning areas.  Pike fishing is year round on Lake of the Woods and can be excellent during the spring in back bays. On the Rainy River...  Spring open water fishing began over a week ago and has started out very good with some big walleyes being caught and released!     As of April 8th, the Rainy River is open to the west of Baudette and gaining every day.  With warm temps in the weekly forecast, not only will the ice deteriorate quickly, but the walleye bite should get even better.  Weather forecast in the next week shows 60's.   There are three boat ramps open.  The Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier Access (about 8 miles to the west of Nelson Park) and the Vidas boat ramp just east of Clementson and the Rapid River.     Most walleye anglers are jigging with either plastics or minnows.  Use bright plastics such as chartreuse, orange, pink and white.  Some are slowly drifting a jig with a minnow such as emerald shiners, fatheads or rainbows.     Trolling crankbaits against the current is also effective and will catch fish.  This is also a good technique to cover water if you are not on fish. Rainy River walleye fishing is catch and release from March 1st through April 14th on Four Mile Bay and the Rainy River.  Initial reports for sturgeon are also good.  Anchored up in a hole or on the slope of a hole with a no roll sinker and sturgeon rig is the ticket.  A sturgeon rig is about an18 inch leader with a 3/0 or 4/0 circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers and emerald shiners.  Here are the seasons for sturgeon fishing...   -Catch and Release Season: May 8th – May 15th and October 1 – April 23rd. -Harvest Season: April 24th – May 7th and July 1 – September 30. -Closed Season: May 16th – June 30th. Up at the Northwest Angle...  It has been a great ice fishing year up at the Angle.  While there are a few locals still getting out, resorts have pulled off their fish houses and called it a year.  There are many areas showing open water primarily where there is current.  Progress to open water is being made.   The walleye and sauger season is open through April 14th. Pike fishing never closes, and perch and crappie remain open year-round as well.  You can fish for sturgeon through May 15th.

      If you stop by Kramer lake on 38 north of Rapids someone made a chair out of a hospital commode and a lunch tray. Been there for 20 years.
