Pomerleau Lake, Minnesota: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Pomerleau Lake is listed under Hennepin County, Minnesota. Elevation runs to 932 feet. Surface area is around 28 acres, which gives you real water without needing a boat. It is low-lying compared with other Minnesota water we list. For a base, Maple Grove sits 1.5 miles out. The big place round here is Minneapolis, 11 miles distant. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Pomerleau Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. County-wide records name bluegill, common carp and largemouth bass. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Pomerleau Lake that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 72°F; the cold one sits at 12°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early April. The water is typically free of ice between early April and late November. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Expect Pomerleau Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. Mapping records toilets within half a mile. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. The nearest alternative is Lake Camelot, 0.6 miles out. Rules at Pomerleau Lake are worth checking on the day.
