Crow Wing County anglers are well aware of Lake Edward, but they might not be as mindful, or simply don’t care as much about, the fish-catching opportunities that exist here. Its walleye and largemouth bass populations are currently in a good place, so they tend to draw some interest.

Located just south of Remer in Cass County, Big Thunder Lake is one of the prettiest bodies of water where you can wet a line in these parts.
Its cedar tree-lined shorelines and gin clear water just give it a special feel; although heavily developed with homes and cabins, it still offers somewhat of a Canadian-shield vibe.

Somewhere in the late 1960s, pretty much about the same time Al and Ron Lindner introduced their famous Lindy Rig to the fishing public, walleye anglers added backtrolling to their bag of tricks. Lindy Rigs instantly produced a lot of walleyes, especially once anglers figured out how to slow the presentation down and keep it vertical.

Fishing St. Louis County’s Johnson Lake delivers a little bit of adventure. This 1,736-acre fishery is certainly off the beaten path and requires some creativity just to reach via watercraft.
From central Minnesota and locations to its south and west, ice fishing options no longer exist. While you could still see some ice on lakes around the St. Cloud and Twin Cities areas early this week, they’re just fading remnants of another winter fishing season gone by.
Farther south, the ice has already melted away.

Mazaska’s walleye population remains in good shape, it holds quality northern pike, and high numbers of good-sized largemouth bass. Freshwater drum, white bass, and even longnose gar are caught here, but Mazaska’s panfish, especially its bluegills, are now the primary draw for most anglers.

There’s no shortage of lakes with the name Cedar in Minnesota. According to the DNR website, there’s 16 counties in the state that contain at least one Cedar Lake, which makes it one of the more prominent names for Minnesota water bodies.
Wright County alone has four of them! Among those four is Cedar Lake near Annandale, a 790-acre fishery that has a well-deserved reputation for kicking out largemouth bass and respectable panfish.

Lake Blanche lies about four miles northeast of the town of Battle Lake in Otter Tail County. It’s a quiet, somewhat underutilized, 1,296-acre fishery that’s most noted for its crappie and bluegill fishing opportunities.

Talk of deteriorating ice usually doesn’t occur until mid-March. During a normal year, hard-water conditions certainly wouldn’t be an issue in February, but Mother Nature already has created challenges on select lakes in some parts of Minnesota.
For starters, let’s be clear: The ice fishing season is nowhere close to an end, and anglers continue to hit the ice in all corners of the state. But a string of warm days in January and another week-long stretch of 50 to even 60 degrees (in the southwest) during the second week of February took its toll on shorelines and access points.
