Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Public occurrence data for Crow Wing County names largemouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first.
