Lake Koronis over by Paynseville

To bad about Washington. I had one awesome opener on that lake about 20 years ago. Monster crappie and a 22 1/2″ female bucketmouth that went back. Next Time try Lake Koronis by paynesville. Can almost guarantee you will not get skunked.

The smally fishing on Koronis is a blast. I caught a 22 incher on a 5 foot ultra light package. They can be caught all day just about anywhere. The resort side of the second island in 8 feet of water is a great spot. I can tell you what we do for walleyes and that is the same way we fis for smallies. a hook and split shot bounced of the bottom while anchored. Jigs work to. The smallies love the big gulp baits as well. If anyone finds the crappies let me know.
