Fishing Conmee Lake in Lake County, Minnesota

• Overview

  Conmee Lake belongs to Lake County, Minnesota. The setting is lake country bush. At some 1,425 acres it is far too large to cover on foot in a day.

Ely is 31 miles and Babbitt 45 miles. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Conmee Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Across Lake County, recorded fish include white sucker, yellow perch, northern pike and rainbow trout. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Fish Conmee Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 2°F in January to roughly 65°F in July. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Look for the thaw near late April; the fishing lifts straight after. Ice clears near late April and comes back about mid November in a typical year. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. That is the shape of the year on Conmee Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try Suzanette Lake, 2.1 miles away. Signs at Conmee Lake carry more weight than any list.
