The shape of Corrine Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 9°F to 65°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late April until roughly late November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. At Corrine Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try Sanborn Lake, 0.8 miles away. Confirm before you fish Corrine Lake.
