If walleye, pike or bass aren’t your cup of tea — or if you are looking for a little variety in your piscatorial pursuits — the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reminds anglers that they have stocked several lakes in Northeastern Minnesota with several varieties of trout, including brook, brown, rainbow and splake.
Stocked waters include:
-
Kremer Lake, 16 miles north of Grand Rapids, received 3,600 yearling brown trout this year.
-
Erskine Lake, 13 miles northeast of Bigfork, received 1,700 yearling rainbow trout this year.
-
Camp Four Lake 11, miles northeast of Chisholm, received 375 yearling brook trout this year.
-
Pickerel Lake at McCarthy Beach State Park, 15 miles northwest of Chisholm, received 1,425 yearling rainbow trout this year.
-
LaRue mine pit in Nashwauk received 1,000 yearling rainbow trout this year.
Don’t forget to buy a trout stamp, as well as your fishing license, before you go.
“Stocking these stream trout species in the lakes in our area offers trout angling opportunities, good scenery while fishing, as well as fish for the dinner table,” said Matt Ward, DNR Grand Rapids assistant area fisheries supervisor, in a statement. “It’s a unique angling experience, with anglers either socializing in groups of camping chairs along shore, carrying in a canoe, or fishing solo from kayaks.”
Ward noted that each species of stream trout may behave differently from one another as well as between summer and winter seasons. He recommends doing a little pre-fishing homework and bringing a variety of bait. Good options include artificial soft plastic baits with a fish scent, live leeches, worms, wax worms and frozen minnows. Live minnows cannot be used on designated trout lakes. Fly anglers also experience success, especially early or late in the day.
Fishing hours for stream trout on inland waters run from one hour before sunrise to 11 p.m. The 2021 summer season for anglers on these lakes is from May 15 through Oct. 31, and the winter season is from Jan. 15 to March 31, 2022.
Anglers can find stocking and fish survey information using the DNR Lakefinder at dnr.state.mn.us/lakefind/index.html.
