Larry Lake in Lake County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Larry Lake is listed under Lake County, Minnesota. Lake country bush runs right down to the water. The water measures roughly 10 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Lake County. The nearest town is Grand Marais, 40 miles away. Ely is 46 miles and Atikokan 52 miles. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Larry Lake

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. County-wide records name white sucker, yellow perch and northern pike. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Larry Lake for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 65°F and January near 5°F. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. Averages place the thaw at late April and the freeze at late November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. The season on Larry Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. There is a campsite half a mile from the water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. For a change of water, Diamond Lake is 0.2 miles distant.
