Lake Lucy, Minnesota: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  The Carver County end of Minnesota holds Lake Lucy. The land about it is lake country bush. Roughly 85 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Bank access stretches around 1.7 miles in total. Ground here is low by Minnesota standards. Head to Chanhassen, 1.7 miles away, for anything you forgot. Beyond it, Excelsior at 1.8 miles and Shorewood at 2.2 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Lake Lucy

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Records held for Carver County cover bluegill, largemouth bass, common carp and black crappie. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. The shape of Lake Lucy decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 72°F; by January the average is down near 12°F. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early April. Break-up sits around early April on average, with the water closing again about early December. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. The season on Lake Lucy follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. A boat ramp sits about half a mile from the water. You will be walking about half a mile from the nearest car park. There is a jetty half a mile off, worth knowing on a busy day. Public toilets are recorded roughly half a mile off. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Lake Ann is 0.4 miles distant. Confirm access to Lake Lucy locally before you travel.
