The 232.92 acres at Lake Koon provide room for several patterns, so it pays to compare the upper end, mid-lake points and the dam side.

A spinnerbait, square-bill and Texas rig cover the most useful largemouth situations on Lake Koon. For smallmouth bass on Lake Koon, keep a bottom-contact bait ready for points and channel edges.
Slow vertical presentations around wood and suspended cover are dependable for Lake Koon crappie. Bluegill and other sunfish in Lake Koon take worms, crickets and tiny jigs along shade and vegetation. Keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom when perch are the target on Lake Koon.
For Lake Koon walleye, follow the old channel with a jig or pull a crankbait across the first sharp break.
For Lake Koon channel cats, place cut bait or a nightcrawler along the creek channel and give the bait time to work. Common carp in Lake Koon can be targeted with corn or dough bait on a simple bottom rig.
For rainbow trout in Lake Koon, use a small spoon, inline spinner, trout magnet or natural bait on light line. Stocked trout may begin near release areas before spreading toward cooler or deeper water in Lake Koon.
Early spring on Lake Koon calls for a slow presentation near the first break outside protected water. At midday in summer, Lake Koon anglers should slow down beside shade, weeds or a nearby depth change. Fall on Lake Koon is a good time for small crankbaits and swimbaits around moving forage.
Check the incoming-water end and the dam side before settling into a pattern, since they often fish like different lakes on Lake Koon. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Lake Koon that reaches toward deeper water.
