Sea Lake Fishing in Washington County, Minnesota

• Overview

  Sea Lake is a Washington County water, Minnesota side. It stands 919 feet above sea level. It runs to roughly 50 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. It is low-lying compared with other Minnesota water we list. Scandia sits 3 miles from the bank. Chisago City lies 6.2 miles off, Osceola another 6.7 miles. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Sea Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Survey and observation records for Washington County include bluegill, largemouth bass and brown trout. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Read Sea Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 71°F on average, January about 11°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Once it clears, about early April, the fishing comes on quickly. Ice usually gives way near early April, and forms again about late November. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Time your trip to Sea Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank 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. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Failing this one, try Second Lake, 0.7 miles away. What applies at Sea Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
