Lake Lillian & Kandi.


Recommended Posts

I've started to see evidence of winterkill on Lake Lillian Lake with mostly carp showing up so far. I have not seen any dead fish on Kandi yet. Both lakes now have higher than normal water levels. Lake Lillian Lake was actually getting water into it from the crow river backing up, only the second time I know of this happening. Both lakes are starting to open up, I'd guess about 1/4 for Lillian and less for Kandi. I sure hope we don't get a strong south wind in the next few day's, if so I will have ice in my home on Kandi. At this point I don't believe we had much of a winterkill on Big Kandiyohi. I'll post after the ice is out.

doubleu,
just curious if you had an update for us on big kandi and lake lillian? Whats the status of the ice out? How about winter kill on kandi and how bad was it on lillian?? must have lost a lot of ice this weekend with all the rain and the strong wind today! weatherman predicting mid 70's by the end of the week but i also think thare is a chance of rain though too.

I have seen a lot of dead fish along the shore of Lake Lillian Lake. Many reports of northerns and walley's too. It was a pretty significant kill on Lake Lillian. The good news is that Big Kandi. appears to be just fine! No reports of any dead fish, several of us have been watching the shores and inlets/outlets with no dead fish and many live fish at the inlets. Ice went out on the evening of the 19th and morning of the 20th. A lot of debris floating around the lake with the extremely high water. It is about as high as I have ever seen the lake. There basically in no beach left anywhere on the lake and I sure hope the wind does not come up strong from the south! With the high water I think mother nature will do a pretty good job of getting fish back into Lake Lillian Lake from Kandi. and from the Crow River.

      On an off light precipitation today. Hoping the weather this weekend will be nice so I can get out and crappie fish and check the weather. My yard has standing water and the driveway is a mess. Lot of lakes are near standard water levels which is good. Heard they are done stripping eggs on cut foot. Shaping up to be a good opener. Last year fished open water 60+ days and 28 different lakes. Hopefully bump both those numbers up this year

      I don't think its 100% accurate, you are just relying on other average joes to report precipitation. But I think most numbers there are right in the ball park, especially when you see consistency among multiple reports in a general area.   It's probably more accurate than what the weather terrorists say on the news  which usually only reports metro areas. cocorahs is good for getting rural area reports you just might not have as many reports to go off of

      Thanks Mike.  I've been looking at bags of it for years but never wanted to chance wasting good meat on it.  I have a gas and charcoal grills, but really love the flavor of charcoal over gas. Most of the time it's if we have time to use one or the other.

      On the south end...   The big open water, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  The bays and tributaries of LOW such as Zippel Bay, Bostic Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  The lake is in good shape for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. The many bays and backwaters of the lake have been receiving attention from spring pike anglers.  Some pike have already entered the bays, spawned and gone back out to the lake, but there are still a pile of fish to be had.   The pike season on LOW is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one fish allowed more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. On the Rainy River...  Another great week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  The bite has been very good and lots of fish of all sizes are being boated.     Sturgeon are being caught from Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River all the way to Birchdale, about 42 miles.  There are many boat ramps along the river to make life easy.  Starting from the east going west...   -Nelson Park at Birchdale (About 30 miles east of Baudette) -Frontier (9 miles west of Birchdale) -Vidas (Near Clementson Rapids) -Timbermill Park (East Baudette) -Peace Park (International Drive, Baudette) -Wheeler's Point (mouth of Rainy River)  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"). Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice free.  Resorts are gearing up for the fishing opener which is expected to be excellent.  The late ice bite was very good and the walleyes are in good numbers amongst the islands area of the NW Angle.

      Charcoal Briquettes are great for low and slow cooking as they produce long-lasting heat. Lump Charcoal burns hotter and adds more flavour to your food; therefore is great for hot and fast cooking.
