Lake Profiles
Lake Winnebago, Fond du Lac/Winnebago/Calumet counties
Survey highlights include above-average walleye and yellow perch year classes, the highest YOY sauger catch rate since 2010 and strong adult catches for yellow perch and bluegills.
Eagle Lake, Kandiyohi County
The lake is heavily stocked with walleye fry, and there’s some natural reproduction that occurs at times. But it’s the stocked fish that have maintained one of this area’s healthiest walleye populations through the years.
Maceday/Lotus lakes, Oakland County
Successful lake trout anglers focus their efforts on the deepest water in Maceday.
Greenwood Lake, Huntingdon County
There is good access all around the lake, thanks to a trail system, but the western shoreline that hugs the ridge and the dam breast is where most of the action will take place.
Kiser Lake, Champaign County
Today, this smallish 396-acre lake is one of the finest bass and crappie waters in the state.
Blackduck Lake, Beltrami County
The panfish that swim in Blackduck are worth fishing for. They’re highlighted by trophy-caliber bluegills and crappies, along with some pods of jumbo-sized perch.
Lake Bloomington, McLean County
And anecdotes shared by anglers point to even more good news on the bass front.
Plum Lake, Vilas County
If Plum Lake has a history of being known for producing trophy walleyes and muskies, it should also be known more recently for producing hefty smallmouth bass.
Strawberry Lake, Becker County
And while there isn’t much for traditional walleye structure, Strawberry does have some rock substrate, and it holds a lot of smallmouth bass.
