Brewis Lake Fishing in Lake County, Minnesota

  You will find Brewis Lake in Lake County, Minnesota. Land around it is rolling bush. At roughly 19 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. The town to know is Ely, 21 miles out. Thunder Bay is the closest city, 106 miles away. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water. Trees shelter part of the bank when the wind gets up.

• Where to Fish on Brewis Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Lake County records list white sucker, yellow perch and northern pike among the fish reported. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. At Brewis Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 65°F; the cold one sits at 4°F. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about late November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. The season on Brewis Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. There is a campsite half a mile from the water. Toilets show in mapping about half a mile away. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Harbor Lake is 0.4 miles distant. Nothing on Brewis Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
