crappie carpet Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I am looking for some info on the Minong Flowage? A friend of mine has some land nearby, and we were looking to get away for a few days, bring the boat and camp on his land to keep it cheap. I am trying to find a good spot to start for smallies, and of course eyes' and maybe some muskies. Will the minong flowage provide this? I am going to do a bit of searching now, but is it a large body? Deep? Shallow? Fishable? Any advise would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR JAR Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 right now the walleyes seem to be pretty tight lipped and the smallies should be in pre-spawn. The water temps are still pretty cool for this time of year. they were getting crappies and gills that still had spawn in them over the weekend. i would try dragging crawler harnesses on the main lake basin in about 10 f.o.w. for the walleyes and try the stump areas for the smallies and as for skies I have never tried for them in there but i do know that there are some nice pike in there.good luckJar Jar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAR JAR Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 First ice is a pretty good time down there for walleyes and try the general opener there also , you won't be disappointed.Jar Jar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superiorfishguy Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 any spots that are better right off the bat for open water [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoozebutton Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Opening weekend I think I'd fish near the mouth of the river, especially if it's a late ice out. I've caught walleyes in the river fishing from shore on late ice out years. It's always been small males but still fun to catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAR JAR Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 I have never fished open water this time of year down there but I fish opener and a few weeks after and do very well. Try the narrows area by the stump fields or the area on the north side of the big island.Jar Jar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minnygriff Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I will miss the opener, but likely be out on the following weekend. Let us know how the fishing is out on there, I usually stay on our smaller lake but may give the flowage a try. Not that I expect any major insight, but where do you think the walleyes will be around this time of year? I only go out there a few times a summer, usually May-early June, and fish the steeper shorelines on the south portion of the lake. I've actually never even ventured north of the boat launch, so I haven't tried the stump fields or other structures near the mouth of the inflow. Thanks and good luck!

Zaraspooks Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Fishing was great! Lots of walleyes but not many keepers. Only got 1 keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
