• Where to Fish on Daggett Lake

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Fish documented in Crow Wing County include largemouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Daggett Lake responds to conditions more than to tactics.

  The range across the year is 7°F to 69°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid April.

It holds true on Daggett Lake more years than not.
