  Brownie Lake lies within the bounds of Hennepin County, Minnesota. The country here is rolling bush. This is a pocket water of some 9 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Our Hennepin County list holds plenty of bigger water. Saint Louis Park sits 1.7 miles from the bank. It is 3.1 miles to Minneapolis, the nearest city. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Brownie Lake

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Across Hennepin County, recorded fish include bluegill, common carp, largemouth bass and pumpkinseed. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. The shape of Brownie Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 73°F and January reads 13°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early April. On average, early April opens the water and early December closes it again. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Plan any trip to Brownie Lake around it.
