There are bass, panfish, and pike to be caught.

Between 2015 and 2019, the last years updated on the DNR’s Master Angler page, a total of 20 Master Angler awards were presented to anglers for fish they caught on Green Lake.

The largemouth bass are present in numbers, with a good majority of them being in the 10- to 14-inch range. However, larger fish have been taken here, including a few citation-sized fish.

Hybrid striped bass have been stocked at East Fork since 1983, making it one of the longest running hybrid striper lakes in the state.

Most anglers come for the lake’s walleye and largemouth bass fishing opportunities. But also, its northern pike have gotten bigger in recent years, and there are enough keeping-size panfish to make them worth the effort.

As for other species, muskies and walleyes have fared well at the relatively deep Lake McMaster.

An estimated 87% of the 2016 adult walleyes were 15 inches long or longer. Most of those fish ran 16 to 22 inches. The largest walleye captured that year was 28.7 inches.


An occasional walleye and an abundance of small northern pike round out its fishing options.
