I'm going to be up around Mora from about the 26th through the 28th. I'd like to spend my time fishing but don't know where to go. I wouldn't mind getting on some walleye or pike, but crappies would do in a pinch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cricks,

Mora has 3 pretty good lakes in the immediate proximity; Knife, Fish, and Ann. They're all pretty similar lakes - relatively shallow, dark water, and river fed. None of them are what you would call structure laden. Knife has the most features of the 3.

Walleyes and pike exist in reasonable number in all 3. I think you'll have to settle for a sun-up/sun-down bite for the walleyes. Pike should be available during the day. Don't be afraid to stick a tip-up shallow at prime time. I mean 3 or 4 foot of water.

And, all of the lakes mentioned above are decent panfish lakes.

Wish I could post some better results for ya, but the fishing has been pretty slow here thus far. We've been getting some sunnies on Fish Lake , they've been real picky however, and are a real challenge once the vexilar battery wears out wink.gifKnife Lake's been pretty slow too, they've been getting some crappies by the indian mounds but its hit and miss, all depends on the day. a few walleyes have been caught on the south end by the pier. according to the local bait shop they've been getting some northern action on Ann Lake , however I haven't ventured out there myself yet to check it out. other options close by include Mud (Quamba) Lake (15mins), Lory Lake (30 mins), or Lake Eleven (30 mins). All depends on how much of a travel you want. Any of these six can produce fish, its just a matter of finding them, and how picky they choose to be!

      Just gotta use some common sense and have some ice safety gear.  If I hadn’t duffed the shot on the buck on the last day of rifle season, I’d probably be on the ice this weekend also.  Instead, I’ll still be chasing some vennie.

      just seen a report on fartbook the pines resort on winnie had 8-9 inches in the bay.  they did warn any further out the ice has not been checked, like over by the river!!!!!

      Looks like Vermilion froze overnight on Monday, which would make it officially frozen Tuesday, December 3.  I am going out to McKinley Park Friday morning to check out the ice conditions and possibly fish.

      Looking at the webcams, I don't see any open water. Is Big Bay completely frozen over yet?   The forecast looks like a few inches of snow Sunday/Monday followed by temps below zero.

      I'd say lakes under 500 acers less than 40 ft deep. They're targeting panfish. We're making ice everyday. Windy today, terrible roads, lots of people decided that they needed to drive fast and that unfortunately led to some vehicles doing some incidental off roading

      Fall was like a month long.  Maybe even less.  I'm quite a bit south of you but I can recall fishing in short sleeves in late October.  Less than a month later, prior to Thanksgiving, winter arrived.   September and most of October were way more like summer than fall.  Kind of too bad, I like fall.

      is that 5-6 inches on smaller lakes or ........... bigger water bodies. i'm guessing knowing the lakes i fish or would like to should maybe have more. i will be seeing a former coworker who livws of hwy 6 north of deer river saturday, hoping he's got a good report.   he's a neighbor and good friend to CO Fairbanks so should get some good intel. i know Mike well too!

      It's definitely winter, we have about 4-6 inches of fluffy snow on the ground which has predominantly blown off the ice. I have several friends out on the ice as of late 5-6 inches of ice. I work the next two days, will get the gear together Saturday and go Sunday. I'd be completely fine if we have an early spring like earlier this year.
