Corona Lake?

[Badger_55]

Has anyone been on Corona Lake up here in Carlton county? I found the best route to her and am going to head there. Just seeing if anyone has a feel for her, sounds like the rainbows are pounding under that sheet of ice.

this might be a stupid question but, what road is corona on? cause i see theres a lake that you can see from 2-10 but i take it that that lake is called long lake since it is by long lake rd. Corona must be down Corona rd? id like to fish it also.

No you are correct about the road and the name of the lake along hwy 210. It sounds like you have heard of the lake I talk about though. Yeah that road is no more than a 1/4 mile long and it has a cultasac at the end. There you will find a foot trail that will lead you to the lake.

Badger,

As a designated trout lake, you do realize that the season for those rainbows doesnt open up until January 14th??? And that no live minnows can be used.

Corona is stocked with 8" rainbows, and I have caught them up to 12.5" in there the last few years. I myself have had better luck during the summer but there are quite a few houses out there for opener. The fish seem to come in spurts, and you can sight fish them sometimes as they commonly cruise just below the ice. In summer I just throw a bobber/#8 hook with a piece of crawler out as far as i can, about 2' down. Then wait for the bobbers to go down and let my 4 year old reel them in.

PS: take the long lake road to the end and park. Follow the trail over the railroad tracks and down to the lake, about a 1/8 mile drag.

Yeah i did know that was a designated trout lake, and we aren't allowed to use live bait in there, but I wasn't sure on the date as to when we can start fishing her but i knew that it was open to fishing right away. But i am looking forward to being able to get out there this winter.

trout lakes outside the BWCA open jan 13th

[Xplorer]

Yup my bad, the 13th it is.

If you go opener you will be able to just follow the trail, hope we get some snow so that we can pull the shacks to the lake. I may try to give it a try later in the week with Jr.

[Badger_55]

Thanks guys for verifying that date. Can't wait to get out there and pull some through the ice. Xplorer maybe i will see ya out there.
