Fish Trap Lake has always been known
for its great fishing with walleye,
crappie, and large mouth bass its most
abundant species. Walleyes are stocked
by the Department of Natural Resources
yearly, average size being two pounds
and five to six pounds being very
common. Bass in the four pound class are
common with some six plus pounders
caught each year. The Crappie population
is very healthy on Fish Trap as well,
with frequent catches of 1.5 to 2 pound
fish found in a net with a full limit.
Northern Pike are easily found by
trolling or by casting with spoons; a
successful slot limit on northerns has
raised their overall size over the last
three years. If you want advice on
where to fish for any species, we can
point you in the right direction!
Fishing guide services are available in
the area, as well (see link at the
bottom of this page for one such
service). Below are some of the fish
we actually managed to photograph this season
so far. Click on the Fishing Archive

the last few years!
