Lily Pond Fishing Guide, Anoka County, Minnesota

The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Lily Pond

  Our records hold no depth for this water. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Across Anoka County, recorded fish include bluegill, common carp, black crappie and largemouth bass. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Lily Pond repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 71°F in July and bottoms out near 11°F in January. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early April. From about early April to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Lily Pond runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Fawn Lake at 0.5 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Lily Pond as something to verify.
