I've fished Knife a few times for bass, and have done pretty decent. It does get a fair amount pressure, so the fish aren't suicidal. I've done best fishing wood, bullrushes (limited amounts of that), and rocks early in the season. Later, rocks and docks are the ticket.

No real secret techniques needed. Tie up a spinner bait, jig-n-pig (with a Kick-N Craw from Catch-N Tackle as the trailer), and a Texas-rig worm. Put the trolling motor down and go.

Knife is definitely worth a day of bass fishing. Let us know how it works out for you.

I was wondering about Knife too. Is the main lake the best place to fish? What about the stream that goes South? Only fished it once and didn't do very well.

Knife can be a very good lake... And its very possible to pick up the bonus walleye while fishing for bass.. I had a tournament out there a few years ago and boated 5 walleyes over 5 lbs in the day. Wish they would have been bass.... Yes the river going to the south can be good, its worth a check at least. Otherwise stick to the shoreline, there isn't much for off shore structure.. Also the lake has some color to it(stained) upsizing your lure size and using louder lures is a good idea.

the stream goes to the dam not a very good place to fish with my luck. i went up this weekend cought many northerns i didnt do much bass fishing. the water is a greener color right now from the algea and stuff. i think they might have started to spray the pond weeds. fishing the shore is good for bass walleyes ther isnt a spot they are scattered around i fish there alot got uncles with 2 cabins on that lake

      Back when the DNR was seining our beach in July I asked, and apparently they were through oak narrows.   But long way to go to get to us.   I'll keep my eyes open and my mask and snorkel on.  Didn't see any sign off them this summer.

      Nice job Troy.   We are happy with our opening day for ducks.  2 man limit of mixed species by 10am.  LOTS of people where we were today but that was expected.  Other than getting beat to our spot, no issues that would keep up away.  Not even the rain.

      Thanks, I'm riding this now TW200 so not sure I can get on any of the ATV trails. Might have to sled by in the winter! 👍

      There are actually 3 tree carvings on the trail from Soudan to Ely.  I saw 2 of them but missed the 3rd.  I believe that trail is the Prospector Trail #4 or #6.  You have to start from the parking lot on the Murray Road 2 miles past Soudan since several property owners on the old railroad bed didn't allow off-road vehicles on their properties.  Another option is to travel from Tower to Embarrass then on to Ely, but that adds a couple hours to the trip.

      I've seen that caving on a few web pages. What trail is that on?  It would be cool to ride by. 👍

      The colors are getting good. Beautiful time of year. Maples are full red and birch and aspen are going too.  I’m not finding a formula for walleyes. Best luck when fishing saddles and shoreline drop offs 10’ down to 20’. I’m using old crawlers, too, because a) it’s hard to find minnows although Northwoods in Cook has them and b) it’s been too warm to keep them alive.  We do have a change in weather happening right now. Wind is coming up and the temperature is dropping. It’s going to be hard to fish Saturday through Monday but the change could be good after that.  Good luck, you’ll need some. They are out there and you’ll get dinner but you’ll have to work for them. RLG

      Thank you. Yes, weather does look sketchy but we'll make the best of it. Looking forward to the colors and just getting away.

      Some more heavily fished lakes are tough ALL season.  Lake Minnetonka and Mille Lacs come to mind.  The water is clear, there are tournaments all the time, and the fish are not easy to catch.   That is why I focus my efforts on lakes with less pressure.
