Blueberry Lake, Minnesota: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Blueberry Lake lies in Saint Louis County, in Minnesota. It sits at 1,483 feet above sea level. With some 47 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. Shoreline comes to about 1.1 miles, small enough to learn in a day. For a base, Babbitt sits 7 miles out. It is 136 miles to Thunder Bay, the nearest city. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Blueberry Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records held for Saint Louis County cover yellow perch, northern pike, white sucker, rainbow trout and walleye. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Take Blueberry Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 65°F and January at 2°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Winter locks it down, and late April brings it back. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near late November. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Plan around that when you fish Blueberry Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Square Lake, 0.8 miles out. Nothing here settles the position at Blueberry Lake for certain.
