Species logged across Becker County include bluegill, largemouth bass and walleye. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Meadow Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 69°F and January near 5°F on the long-run figures. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Once it clears, about mid April, the fishing comes on quickly. The season between ice runs from about mid April to late November. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. The season on Meadow Lake follows the weather closely.
