Hyland Lake near Savage: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Hyland Lake is listed under Hennepin County, Minnesota. The ground around here is mixed forest. The water covers some 80 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. About 1.7 miles of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. Ground here is low by Minnesota standards. Supplies mean a trip to Savage, 3.4 miles off. Minneapolis is the closest city, 12 miles away. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Hyland Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Records held for Hennepin County cover bluegill, common carp and largemouth bass. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Hyland Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 73°F in July and bottoms out near 12°F in January. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early April. Ice usually gives way near early April, and forms again about early December. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Plan any trip to Hyland Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. Mapping shows a jetty some half a mile off. There are picnic tables half a mile away. Public toilets are recorded roughly half a mile off. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Bush Lake, 1.2 miles out. Confirm before you fish Hyland Lake.
