Mudro Lake, Minnesota: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  The Saint Louis County entry here is Mudro Lake, in Minnesota. The surface lies 1,365 feet up. It measures about 87 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. The full circuit measures close to 2.0 miles on foot. Start from Ely, 9.5 miles down the road. The nearest city of size is Thunder Bay, 121 miles away. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Mudro Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Saint Louis County records list yellow perch, northern pike, white sucker, rainbow trout and walleye among the fish reported. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Mudro Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 65°F and January near 3°F. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. From about late April to around late November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Mudro Lake runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Overnight stays are possible half a mile away. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Louis Lake is 0.6 miles distant. Rules at Mudro Lake are worth checking on the day.
