• Where to Fish on Ostlund Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Survey and observation records for Grant County include common carp, largemouth bass and walleye. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Fish Ostlund Lake to its features, not to its size.

  Climate records put July near 70°F and January near 8°F. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid April.

The season on Ostlund Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. For a change of water, Red Rock Lake is 1.7 miles distant. Nothing on Ostlund Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
