Fishing Baltic Lake in Lake County, Minnesota

• Overview

  You will find Baltic Lake in Lake County, Minnesota. What surrounds it is lake country bush. This is a pocket water of some 18 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Supplies mean a trip to Ely, 39 miles off. Then Grand Marais, 45 miles, and Atikokan, 48 miles. Neighbouring water: Glen Lake a shade over 0.3 miles, Lunar Lake out at 0.5 miles, Embla Lake a shade over 0.5 miles, Rivalry Lake out at 0.5 miles and Maze Lake a shade over 0.6 miles. There is no boundary nearby to worry about.

• Where to Fish on Baltic Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Open biodiversity records for Lake County list white sucker, yellow perch, northern pike and rainbow trout. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Baltic Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 65°F and January about 4°F. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. Averages suggest open water from about late April through to roughly late November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Baltic Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. A camping area sits within half a mile of here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Glen Lake at 0.3 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Baltic Lake for certain.
