This 2,096-acre lake has a lengthy history of providing some of the area’s best walleye and smallmouth bass fishing opportunities. Potato also holds a healthy population of largemouth bass, good numbers of northern pike, and
Muskie stocking efforts are working and have provided a unique opportunity in this area to catch a 50-inch fish.
Walleyes and smallmouth bass are the main draws at Johnson Lake, although its northern pike and whitefish populations are worth noting as well. While limited, you might even catch the rogue lake trout here.
Here’s a look at six of your favorite ice-fishing destinations.
Crappies and bluegills draw some attention on the lake. These are by no means trophy-caliber panfish, but there always seems to be a healthy supply of respectable, eating-size fish to catch.
From an angling standpoint, the lake’s large size should not be intimidating. In fact, it’s a bonus, because the majority of Shetek’s watery acres seem to hold fish.
You will catch plenty of walleyes from Pokegama, too. They come in a wide range of sizes, and the potential for trophy-caliber fish exists.
And don’t disregard the lake’s whitefish. It’s a fishable population, rarely tapped, with good-sized fish.
Koronis is an excellent walleye lake, panfish are abundant and good-sized, it produces quality northern pike, and its bass population – smallmouths and largemouths – is a big draw for local and visiting anglers alike.
