Fishing at Langton Lake, Ramsey County, Minnesota

• Overview

  Set in Ramsey County, Langton Lake is a Minnesota water. Country round the bank runs to rolling bush. The water measures roughly 8 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Around 1.2 miles of margin, front to back. It is a small entry by Ramsey County standards. Supplies mean a trip to Arden Hills, 1.9 miles off. Beyond it, Saint Anthony at 1.9 miles and Roseville at 2.1 miles. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Langton Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Across Ramsey County, recorded fish include bluegill, common carp, black crappie and largemouth bass. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. The shape of Langton Lake rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 13°F in January and 73°F in July. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early April. From about early April to around early December, expect open water on the long-run figures. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Anyone fishing Langton Lake regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. The nearest car park is half a mile from the water. Mapping shows a jetty some half a mile off. There are toilets half a mile off. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try Little Lake Johanna, 0.6 miles away. Check the position on Langton Lake before loading the car.
