Fishing at Tremolo Lake, Lake County, Minnesota

• Overview

  In Minnesota, Tremolo Lake belongs to Lake County. The ground round it is mixed forest. The water covers some 29 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Ely lies 25 miles from the water. It is 102 miles to Thunder Bay, the nearest city. Water in the same corner: Zitkala Lake 1.3 miles off, Hudson Lake roughly 1.4 miles, Hush Lake 1.9 miles off, Tornado Lake roughly 1.9 miles and Brunch Lake 1.9 miles off. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Tremolo Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Records held for Lake County cover white sucker, yellow perch and northern pike. The county list is broader than any single water. Treat Tremolo Lake as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 65°F in July and bottoms out near 4°F in January. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. Open water usually runs from late April until about late November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. The season on Tremolo Lake rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Mapping shows a campsite some half a mile from the water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Zitkala Lake at 1.3 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm before you fish Tremolo Lake.
