It is low-lying compared with other Minnesota water we list. For supplies, Hanover is 2.7 miles out. Saint Michael is 2.9 miles away, with Albertville at 4.7 miles. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Uhl Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Reported across Wright County: largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, yellow perch and common carp. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Take Uhl Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 11°F and July at about 71°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Break-up comes around early April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Climate figures give an open season running early April to late November. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. It holds true on Uhl Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. If the gate is shut, Lake Wilhelm at 0.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm access to Uhl Lake locally before you travel.
