Emily Lake

[Dipnet]

How come nobody fishes Emily Lake in the winter?

We went by there on Saturday around noon and were shocked to see two nuts with 4 wheelers out in the middle with a dog. Those were the only ones I ever saw fish out there. Its a good lake in the summer. What happens in the winter?

Which emily? The one in the cities or the one by St. Peter?

[Dipnet]

The one by the town of Emily North of Crosby.

my cabin is in that area and i fished it once in the summer but didnt boat anything but little hammerhandles, i dont think the lake has much structure i couldnt find a spot deeper than 15 ft.

[Dipnet]

I think the deepest part is 13 feet. It has a lot of fishing activity all summer long, but in the winter its deserted.

Those 2 nuts you speak of....well I know them too well. They don't fish Emily a ton in the winter, but everytime they do it is well worth their while. The ice is kinda sketchy as there are springs throughout the lake, but I think it is hyped a lot more than it should be. Dipnet....it's funny you call them "NUTS" because they are, but it has nothing to do with them being on Emily. Find a little break with good weeds. Small orange or chartreuse jigs tipped with waxies and you are in business. Good luck, if you dare to venture out.

See I knew they were NUTS.

I think we'll Emily this afternoon.

Where are the breaks?
