Fishing near Ramsey, Minnesota

In Anoka County, Minnesota, sits Ramsey. Some of these sit in the next county, so rules can differ. The near ones first: Eddy Lake a shade over 1.7 miles to the west, Grass Lake a shade over 1.9 miles, Rogers Lake a shade over 4.0 miles to the north-east plus Round Lake a shade over 4.8 miles. Grass Lake is worth a look at first light before anyone else arrives. There is little flow anywhere on this list. Look for the line where sand gives way to silt. Winter is a real season here, not a mild spell. Late spring is the part of the year to aim for. The nearest of them, Eddy Lake, covers about 10 acres. There is a car park at Eddy Lake, according to mapping. Expect the lakes here to open about early April. County records name bluegill, common carp, black crappie and largemouth bass among the fish present. All of the above sit within reach of Ramsey, which is the practical point....
