Fishing Mulden Lake in Saint Louis County, Minnesota

• Overview

  Mulden Lake sits in Saint Louis County, out in Minnesota. It stands 1,463 feet above sea level. It measures about 38 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. Around 1.0 miles of margin, front to back. Mountain Iron lies 7.5 miles from the water. Beyond it, Parkville at 7.8 miles and Virginia at 8.8 miles. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Mulden Lake

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Reported across Saint Louis County: yellow perch, northern pike and white sucker. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Mulden Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 66°F and January near 4°F on the long-run figures. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. From about late April to around mid November, expect open water on the long-run figures. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Mulden Lake the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Rat Lake at 0.6 miles is the sensible second choice. Ask locally about Mulden Lake if anything is unclear.
