Record numbers of perch!

Posted on February 11, 2021 by Artie Arndt

Check out the recent lake data from the Minnesota Fisheries department on Big Stone Lake!

“Big Stone Lake continues to provide good fishing for Yellow Perch, Bluegills, Largemouth Bass, White Bass, Freshwater Drum and Walleyes. The continued high abundance of rooted plants that has been occurring during recent years has provided a habitat type that is favoring panfish and bass. However, Walleye numbers continue to be decent, with fast growing Walleyes present from a wide range of sizes. Walleyes have been harder to catch during recent years because forage has been very abundant. Overall, Big Stone Lake continues to be a very good fishing lake, and Mother Nature deserves most of the credit.”
-Chris Domier – Ortonville Area Fisheries Supervisor
