I love this lake. I have fished it for over 30 years and it still produces large fish, a true hidden gem in mpls. Bring a kayak to get on it. Largemouth are in shallow water eating baitfish. Slow moving shallow crankbaits proove effective as well as tubes and worms off grassy ledges.

Started casting into the dying lily pads. Largemouth were hitting hard with a slow drag right through the foliage, letting the worm hover slightly above the ground. Mid-morning

Weather was mostly sunny with a slight breeze. Caught 9 bass and 1 pike. Most fish were found in 3-6 fow in sparse lilly pads but I also caught a few off docks and a swimming raft.

Great lake to fish. The public ramp doesn't allow trailers so make sure you canoe it or kayak without a trailer. Also make sure the homeowners that boat on the lake actually see you. A couple have not paid attention and have been very reckless in how close they get.
