Fishing at Grass Lake, Hennepin County, Minnesota

• Overview

  In Minnesota, Grass Lake falls inside Hennepin County. The water sits 896 feet up. At roughly 6 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. Most waters listed here for Hennepin County are larger. Start from Rogers, 1.5 miles down the road. For a city, Minneapolis is 19 miles off. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Grass Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Species logged across Hennepin County include bluegill, common carp and largemouth bass. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Grass Lake gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 11°F in January to roughly 72°F in July. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Winter locks it down, and early April brings it back. The lid tends to go about early April and return around late November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Grass Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. You can park half a mile away and walk in from there. Mapping records toilets within half a mile. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, French Lake is 1.1 miles off. Nothing here settles the position at Grass Lake for certain.
