Fishing Lake Minnewaska:

 

The Cedar Inn Motel is located only five blocks away from the Lake Minnewaska public access. This lake is the 7,110 acre jewel of Pope County and is one of the best all around fishing lakes in Minnesota. Minnewaska is known primarily for great walleye and bass fishing but also offers a great bluegill population, with eight-inch fish being a common catch. Northern Pike of the two to five pound variety are also very abundant in the lake. Minnewaska is also known for great ice fishing.

Area Fishing Report (Last Updated: 6-23-09):

 

At the time of this report, Lake Minnewaska was producing walleye action long lining with floaters and/or spinners tipped off with a leech or shiner minnow. Highest production areas have been in the deep hole out from the high school (22 to 25 feet) and off of Priest Point in 14 to 17 feet. There were also scattered reports of success with jig and shiner or leech out from the Starbuck beech working towards the Marina off the weed line in 14 to 15 feet. The most consistent panfish action has been reported on the Glenwood end of Minnewaska in the shallows of Hunt’s Bay. The most consistent action for most area lakes have been Largemouth Bass. Lake Reno continues to produce walleyes using leeches and shiner minnows in 15 to 19 feet. Long Lake also offers a consistent bite for walleyes and some crappies. The bait of choice here is leeches and minnows.

Franny’s Bar and Cedar Bait sponsored a three species fishing tournament on Saturday June 6th and despite wind gusts topping 35mph and rainy conditions there were quite a few fish caught. Because of low turnout awards were paid out for the largest fish in each division. Six fish were registered in the bass division with the largest being caught by Brian Hansen (3# 10oz. largemouth). The walleye division had five fish registered with the largest weighing 2# 12oz. and was caught by Rod Noyes. Adam Severson pulled in a 6# 4oz northern to win that division. The largest fish of the day was caught by Tim Stensby. A 7# 2oz. sheephead earned him the traveling trophy for this division. There were a total of 15 fish registered. Prizes and awards were given out at Franny’s following the tournaments conclusion at 4pm. All the contestants received a door prize, lunch, and happy hour pricing on all drinks.
