If you’re sittin’ in a boat on Minnesota’s Bay, you’re not wastin’ time

There isn’t anything real complicated about catching fish on Crow Wing County’s Bay Lake: Find a weedline and you’re likely going to catch something.
Located just south of Deerwood, this 2,329-acre lake is a popular destination for both anglers and recreational users. Its clear water and resort industry attract countless vacationers each year, while its fish-catching opportunities draw plenty of anglers.

Minnesota’s Fish Hook Lake doesn’t let heavy pressure affect its fish

There are select lakes in this state with the ability to handle intense fishing pressure yet continue to provide solid multi-species fishing opportunities on a year-round basis.
Hubbard County’s Fish Hook Lake is one of them. Fish Hook is located just north of Park Rapids, so its proximity to town automatically makes it a popular lake for anglers and recreational boaters alike. But its consistent production of walleyes, bass, panfish, and northern pike is what draws anglers to it.

Walleyes, smallies make Minnesota’s Bear Island worth the journey in St. Louis County

There’s a lot for an angler to consider when trying to decipher Bear Island Lake in St. Louis County. Located 10 miles southwest of Ely, Bear Island is a large lake with quite a bit of deep water, there are four inlets and one outlet, a handful of islands, and an abundance of boulders, rubble, and gravel.
So here’s the problem from a fishing standpoint: Where the heck do you begin when it all looks so promising?
