Feldges Lake, Minnesota: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Set in Wright County, Minnesota, this is Feldges Lake. Elevation runs to 961 feet. With some 25 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. On size it sits at the modest end of our Wright County list. Clearwater at 2.4 miles is the nearest place to stop. For a city, Minneapolis is 50 miles off. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Feldges Lake

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. County-wide records name largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, yellow perch and common carp. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. The shape of Feldges Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 71°F, while January sits near 10°F. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near early April. The season between ice runs from about early April to late November. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Feldges Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Failing this one, try Warner Lake, 1.1 miles away. Treat Feldges Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
