Aholzerland311 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hello all, I plan on taking a week off work end of October for some walleye fishing and if the walleye arent biting try fishing for northerns and pan fish. Last year I stayed on Vermillion and loved it (probably will end up back there this year), but was interested in other similar lakes to explore so i thought i would ask some of you what your favorite lakes and area's are in MN?

Wish-I-Were-Fishn Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Kabetogama, or Namakan. Rainy is just to big for my rig and these are even a little closer.- Wish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Rainy....Vermilion is a nice lake too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down Deep Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 October - Rainy would be my first choice, but you could be in for some bumpy water if the weather doesn't cooperate. At least on Vermillion the pinch points produce a good walleye bite and are easier to fish if the weather rears its ugly head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outfitter17 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 If you are looking at staying in MN I would go to Rainy in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
