Rose Lake Fishing Reports


Recommended Posts

I think your looking for Panman. I have never fished Rose, although I should. It sounds like a great lake...

Has anyone been there lately? How is the fishing and was anybody down the south arm?

Going to give this lake a try on Friday and Saturday just for the heck of it. I read some general pointers in earlier posts to fish the island, point on east, rocks south of access etc.

I never really saw a point on the east when I was looking at the map. Did that mean the bowl in the SE corner? Or is there actually a point on the east side of the lake? Also the island, never really saw one mid lake or anything, it appeared there was an island to the south almost where the arm starts (just east of it).

Can anyone else throw me some tips for the lake? Looking to get into some walleye and maybe some pannies in the afternoon.

Thanks!

Also where can I get some minnows early in the morning? Ill be staying on Rose Lake....

The arm is a good place to start. Haven't fished rose this year, but a lot of lakes are putting out walleyes.

Bait shops in the area are Big Jim's in Vergas or J&K Marine.

There is Bennies\Bernies Superbait as well, cant remember the exact name, if you are driving from Vergas it is between the J&K Marine and the access. My parents live on Rose so I have fished it it a little, biggest challenge is keeping the snot rockets off the end of your line, seems that if you were targeting 1-3 lb northerns this would be the lake for you.

Heading to Rose Lake later this week. I understand that it is not detailed on the Lake master chip. Not looking for any hotspots, will try to find them by research. I am hoping that it is not a cranking lake (hate cranking), but was wondering if it has nice cabbage beds...any info would be appreciated.

tks

There is a sunken island near the fork where it branches towards vergas, you can find some crappies on it at times. Otherwise otherwise on the NW weed line you can catch bass pike, and walleye, slip bobbers seem to work well. But its hard to keep the little snot rockets off your line.

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.

      what do they look like this spring?
    • SkunkedAgain
      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      MN DNR posted April 13 as Ice out date for Vermilion

      👍. What was the water temp in Black Bay? Thanks....
    • Brianf.
      No, that wasn't me.  I drive a 621 Ranger.

      So, that was you in the camo lund? I'm bummed, I have to head back to the cities tomorrow for a few days, then back up for at least a few weeks. Got the dock in and fired up to get out chasing some crappies till opener!

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   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"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
