Species logged across Itasca County include yellow perch, largemouth bass, northern pike, bluegill and black crappie. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Work Lind Greenway Tailings Basin in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 67°F and January reads 5°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid April. The lid tends to go about mid April and return around late November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. At Lind Greenway Tailings Basin the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Toilets show in mapping about half a mile away. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Failing this one, try Lower Prairie Lake, 1 mile away.
