Lemans Lake Fishing in Hennepin County, Minnesota

• Overview

  Lemans Lake is set in Hennepin County, Minnesota. It sits at 840 feet above sea level. Around 60 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. The edge runs 1.3 miles or so, easy to work in an afternoon. It is low-lying compared with other Minnesota water we list. The closest town, Champlin, is 1.2 miles distant. Anoka is 2 miles away, with West Coon Rapids at 2.9 miles. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Lemans Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Hennepin County records list bluegill, common carp, largemouth bass and pumpkinseed among the fish reported. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Anyone new to Lemans Lake should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 72°F; the cold one sits at 12°F. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early April. Open water usually runs from early April until about late November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Plan around that when you fish Lemans Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. Fishing from a pier is possible 0.9 miles away. There are toilets half a mile off. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, Mill Pond at 0.9 miles is the nearest alternative. What applies at Lemans Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
