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.

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?

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!

      I must be real lucky, caught another healthy one, 30"  in the shallows tonight less than 6 FOW.

      Dude, I already trolled that spot, nothing but slimmers!  😄 Glad I saved money by stopping smoking a while ago. It's free most of the summer now! Been calm and yellow out for days! 🤧

      Bet you would enjoy a nice paddle down the Cahulawassee River, too then. 😏

      Talked to my neighbor is getting ready for a trip via fall lake.    They use small boats with like 10 to 25 hp outboards and portage wheels.   There are two portages to get into pipestone bay, with the second one being over a hill.   From pipestone they can go around to Jackfish? bay,   There is a big sign to warn about where the no motors area is.

      On the South End... The walleye and sauger bite continues to be very good with anglers enjoying consistent action.  As we transition into fall, fish are being found at various depths, but 25 - 32 feet of water has been consistent. Jigging continues to pick up as the waters cool.  Water temps this week are down to 64.  Top jig colors this week include gold, orange, chartreuse, and pink.  For some anglers, big numbers caught this week jigging with frozen emerald shiners on the lake.   Some anglers are jigging on or adjacent to structure.  Others are finding schools of walleyes and saugers out over deep mud.  Using sonar to find fish is helpful.     Spinners and trolling crankbaits continue to produce fish as well.  This is a transition time where multiple presentations are working.  As the season progresses, jigging will take over as the top technique.     For those pulling spinners, gold, pink, orange, glow red, or glow white has been successful. Adjust your weights to 2 - 3 ounces to match the depth and speed you are drifting / trolling. Trolling crankbaits is still producing nice walleyes.  Some goto colors are gold, chrome / blue, pink UV firetiger, and chartreuse.     More and more walleyes are showing up along the south shore.  It seems things are gravitating towards fall patterns where good numbers of the fish are both chasing shiners and moving closer to shorelines.  The bite has been excellent and is really shaping up nicely for the fall jig bite both on the lake and in the Rainy River. On the Rainy River... A variety of species continue to be caught on the Rainy River.  Nice current flow is providing fall anglers some optimism for this year's fall shiner and walleye run being a banner year.  Some reports of nice walleyes being caught in the river already this week.   There are reports of shiners in the river all the way up to Birchdale.  Things seem to be setting up nice for a great fall on the river.  Mother Nature will have the final say of course. Sturgeon fishing is picking up with cooling waters.  Anglers anchor up and use a combination of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig with a flat no roll sinker.     Find a hole in the river or simply mark these big fish in an area, anchor up and soak some crawlers! Up at the NW Angle... Walleye fishing up at the NW Angle remains really good. Fish are being found in many areas.  Structure, neck down areas as well as on the flats.   Some good fish are still holding in the deep mud east and northeast of Little Oak Island in the mud.  Areas around Four Blocks, and north of Garden Island producing fish as well.    As on the south end, jigging, spinners / crawlers and trolling crankbaits are all producing walleyes.   Smallmouth bass, pike and muskies are also being caught, both by unsuspecting walleye anglers and when targeted.  As the waters cool, crappies and jumbo perch are also showing up nicely for anglers.
