Has anyone been to Birch lately? I'll be a first timer on the lake after Christmas and was hoping to get pointed in the right direction. Would like to do some jigging for eyes and tip ups for northerns during the day. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!

Do a search on this forum for Birch Lake or just look further down the forum. STF Catfish has fished it at least once this season.

Doop,

I will be in the area the same time. I don't know much about the Lake, but I plan on pulling a TOOTHY CRITTER out of the ice. Maybe we could sit on the ice together and have some jerky and barley pop wink.gif Over and out!

Yours truly in Fishing,

ICE TOAD

Ice Toad....

I would be more than willing to sit on the ice, shoot the bull, and drink some barley wine.

I got a good lake up by Ely if your lookin for some big Northerns. You have to have patients, but it has paid off for some of my buddys!

Have a good one.

Casey, I did a search and didn't really find much. STF Catfish has helped A LOT! Going to a new lake can be a bit intimidating though. I'll try another search and see what I come up with.

Thanks! Any help is greatly appreciated!

If they got teeth dont let em take it to long other wise your bait will be gone forever. I have fish Birch where the Kawish goes into it for eyes and crappies. Also done good where the stoney river comes in for eyes and the green toothy ones. Burntside has some really large pike ya just need to find em in the little bays. Hey Nam what is the little lake with the muskies in it off of Hwy 1? Nam are we going to fish walleyes on Kempton lake this winter? I would like to fish walleyes on the lake at the end of Spruce Road again last time i did that i limited out. grin.gif

Monstermoose,

Hopefully we can make it to Kempton when I am in Ely in January. Last year some guy told me he was the DNR and He said "get off my land or I'll take your gun"

Well I didnt have a gun, I just wanted to fish Kempton.

He was one of them nutty Elyites I think...

moose -

I think the lake you are thinink of off of Hwy 1 with Muskies is Harris. If you are thinking of the one with a really rough road leading down to it, that is probably it.

      Boy this wind is something. I was going to go deer hunting for the early doe season but the wind is a little strong.

      My electronics often say that I am on land when I'm on the water. Trust is a two-way street!

      Fishing is still pretty good.  Went with a friend and the dog yesterday for about 5 hours, managed 19 largemouth and 10 pike.  I normally don't take photos of pike but several of these fish were on the larger side and quite thick so they made the cut.  One of these days my fishing season is going to be over but for now the fish are still cooperating.

      On our fall trip, we saw many examples of downed trees on Pine Island. Small trees being cut with chain saw and piled. Any insight on project?

      On the South End...  Fall fishing on Lake of the Woods is excellent right now.  The colder water temps have the fish snapping.     Walleyes and saugers are being caught in a variety of locations across the south shore from 20 to 27 feet.  Water temps are in the low to mid 50's. Jigging with frozen, or live emerald shiners is catching a pile of fish.  Anchor up and jig over the side of the boat.  Typically, lots of small fish to sort through but you will get your keepers along with some larger walleyes. Jig colors to consider are gold, glow white, glow red, chartreuse, orange, and pink.  Gold combined with any one of these colors is often a good choice.   On the Rainy River... The river continues to get better and better with more walleyes moving in each week.  Good fish being caught in many sections of the river.  The morning and evening hours have had the best bite. Walleyes are actually being caught using three methods.  Jigging with frozen or live emerald shiners, pulling spinners and trolling crankbaits.  15 - 25 feet of water has been the norm. Sturgeon fishing continues to pick up as the water cools.  The "Catch and Release" sturgeon season is in place right now.  The river holds a myriad of species of fish.  Crappies, pike, smallmouth bass, suckers, bullheads and even an eelpout or two are being caught up and down the river.   Four Mile Bay is also holding some nice walleyes as they make their way in from the lake.  Various areas on the edge of the current and channel break are good spots to begin. Up at the NW Angle... Another great week of fall fishing up at the Angle.  Walleyes are keying in on various areas with structure.  Points, neck down areas with some current and transition areas from rock to mud are good right now. Walleyes are the most sought after but in the fall, lots of muskie and crappie anglers are around as well.  Good reports on a variety of species including jumbo perch and pike as the waters cool.      Put on some warm fall clothes, make sure your camera is ready and make some incredible fall fishing memories.  There is still time to get in that last fall trip.
