Million Lake Fishing in Hubbard County, Minnesota

• Overview

  Million Lake lies in Hubbard County, Minnesota. What surrounds it is rolling bush. About 22 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is a small entry by Hubbard County standards. Nearest place of any size is Park Rapids, 21 miles away. For a city, Fargo is 103 miles off. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Million Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Reported across Hubbard County: walleye, northern pike, black crappie and bluegill. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Treat Million Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 5°F to 68°F. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from mid April. Averages place the thaw at mid April and the freeze at late November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Expect Million Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Lost Lake, 0.3 miles away. Rules at Million Lake are worth checking on the day.
