Fishing at Kroon Lake, Chisago County, Minnesota

With about 2.2 miles of edge, you can try several depths in one session. It ranks high for size among our Chisago County listings. The nearest town is Lindstrom, 2.3 miles away. Saint Paul sits 31 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Kroon Lake

  Surveys put the deepest water at about 34 feet. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Species logged across Chisago County include largemouth bass, common carp and bluegill. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. At Kroon Lake light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 11°F and July at about 71°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early April. Averages place the thaw at early April and the freeze at late November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Plan around that when you fish Kroon Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Linn Lake is 1 mile off. Treat Kroon Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
