Top Fishing Lakes In Minnesota

With Minnesota being the land of 10,000 lakes, it’s immediately a prime fishing spot.  But with so many areas to choose from and with so many people visiting the state for game fishing, it can be quite difficult for first-timers to find the best ones.  Hereunder is a list of the ideal locales for catching those famed pikes, walleyes, and various trophy fish.

White Bear Lake

White Bear Lake is one of the largest lakes in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.  It is located northeast of the Twin Cities and promises anglers a shot at catching a plethora of fish, from the black bullhead, bluegill, and largemouth bass to the muskie, northern pike, and yellow perch.

Lake Waconia

The term “Waconia” comes from the Sioux and means “fountain” or “spring.”  This lake is located in Carver County and is 3,080 acres wide.  It’s a great area for catching largemouth bass, walleye, and panfish.

Lake of the Woods

Lying on the borders of Ontario, Canada, this 70-mile wide lake is a world-class fishing spot for anglers keen on catching walleye, muskie, smallmouth bass, and even espying Minnesota’s largest fish, the Lake Sturgeon.

Mille Lacs

This large and relatively shallow lake is a great fishing destination for catching walleye, smallmouth bass, and the northern pike.  It is located near Garrison, about 100 miles north of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. What’s up, everyone.
