Bemidji is full of structure, is loaded with walleyes, jumbo perch, and muskies, and receives heavy fishing pressure, likely due to both its location and its year-round ability to produce fish.

With the exception of the month of July, walleye angling on the lake is catch-and-release this season.

While lacking a laundry list of fish species to catch, its non-fishing-related offerings, along with some darn good walleye- and bass-catching opportunities, make this 753-acre lake a popular destination.

Protected slot is now 30 to 40 inches, with a three-fish bag.
