Bennett Lake, Minnesota: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Bennett Lake belongs to Ramsey County, Minnesota. The setting is lake country bush on every side. It lies lower than most water we list in Minnesota. You are 1.1 miles from Roseville. The nearest city of size is Saint Paul, 5.6 miles away. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive. There is no development on most of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Bennett Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Survey and observation records for Ramsey County include bluegill, common carp, black crappie and largemouth bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. At Bennett Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 13°F to 73°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early April. Averages suggest open water from about early April through to roughly early December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. That is the shape of the year on Bennett Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. A pier half a mile from here gives a platform over deeper water. A rest area sits about 0.9 miles from the water. Public toilets are recorded roughly 170 yards off. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Lake Josephine at 1.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the current arrangement for Bennett Lake.
