Lammon Aid Lake near Coleraine: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Look for Lammon Aid Lake in the Itasca County part of Minnesota. Elevation runs to 1,299 feet. It runs to roughly 59 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. About 1.1 miles of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. The nearest town is Coleraine, 8.8 miles away. Minneapolis is the closest city, 157 miles away. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Lammon Aid Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Open biodiversity records for Itasca County list yellow perch, largemouth bass, northern pike, bluegill and black crappie. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Lammon Aid Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 67°F, with January the cold end at about 5°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Ice-out usually falls in mid April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. The open-water window runs from around mid April to about late November in an average year. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Plan around that when you fish Lammon Aid Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Rosholt Lake at 1.2 miles is the nearest alternative. Rules at Lammon Aid Lake are worth checking on the day.
