There’s plenty of panfish in this fine Minnesota lake near Prior Lake MN.
It’s not a real big lake, (171 acres) but I have gone water skiing here and there was plenty of room. Plenty of gamefish variety, here too. Water depth is a maximum of 28 feet, and it boasts a clarity of 6.5 feet. There is a barrier to prevent migration of carp from Spring Lake via the creek on the north end.
Who lives in there?
- The lake is known for having a large number of panfish, including bluegills, plus plenty of both black and white crappies. In fact, bluegill levels here are at the highest they have been since 1949.
- You may pick up some bullheads too. Yellow bullhead are in fact at levels above 75 percentile and average about 1.1 pounds
- Largemouth bass are around the southwest corner, and walleyes can be snagged off a bar Kaiser’s point at the north end.
- The lake is home to a large number of northern pike, but they tend to be at smaller-than average size.
- Walleye are the fish that are the most heavily managed by the state. Average weight from gillnet studies is 4.1 poundss and the average length is 22 inches.
- Fish lake is also home to golden shiners, black bullhead, and common carp.
Public access on northwest end.
