Fishing Spring Lake in Hubbard County, Minnesota

• Overview

  You will find Spring Lake in Hubbard County, Minnesota. It stands 1,358 feet above sea level. Small at around 17 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. On size it sits at the modest end of our Hubbard County list. Nearest town is Park Rapids, 17 miles off. Menahga lies 24 miles off, Pequot Lakes another 30 miles. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Spring Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Across Hubbard County, recorded fish include walleye, northern pike, black crappie, bluegill and largemouth bass. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. On Spring Lake the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 5°F in January to roughly 68°F in July. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid April. Expect the water usable from around mid April until roughly mid November. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. That is the shape of the year on Spring Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Mary Lake at 0.5 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Spring Lake should be assumed from this page alone.
