Fishing at Keller Lake, Sherburne County, Minnesota

• Overview

  Keller Lake is listed under Sherburne County, Minnesota. Everything around it is lake country bush. Surface area is around 37 acres, which gives you real water without needing a boat. Ground here is low by Minnesota standards. Big Lake at 0.4 miles is the nearest place to stop. Minneapolis sits 34 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Keller Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Survey and observation records for Sherburne County include bluegill, northern pike and largemouth bass. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. The shape of Keller Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 72°F, the coldest about 11°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Ice is part of the season here, ending near early April. From about early April to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Anyone fishing Keller Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

There is a mapped landing stage half a mile away. Mapping records toilets within half a mile. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, Big Lake at 0.6 miles is the nearest alternative. None of that is settled for Keller Lake in what we hold.
