Waconia earns a spot on the list.

My vote goes to Calhoun and Harriet. Both of these lakes see little pressure and have excellent populations of fish. If you can figure out how to launch and park you will have the lake pretty much to yourself.

1. Prior
2. Minnewashta (catch and release only in effect)..seems to be working
3. Minnetonka (weekdays)
4. ? To be determined
5. ? To be determined

#1-Calhoun,L.O.Isles,Cedar(alot of big bass and alot of muskies to boot).
#2-Harriet(same as Calhoun).
#3-Owasso
#4-Phalen(as much as I don't like fishing this lake,it has nice bass).
#5-Minnetonka (It would be #1, but the traffic is annoying).

I'm glad to see that my favs are not listed, and I won't list them. The bass lakes I fish are very small and they are crowded enough so I'll keep them to myself.

Have a good one!

basser, when do you consider "early spring" on Lake Minnetonka? Just wondering.

[basser]

So many good ones, the best luck I had was on

1) North and South center

2) Green -6# out of there

3) Weaver - 2 to 4#r's all day long

4) Minnetonka(in the early spring or late fall-when the traffic is down)

5)Big Marine(love that clear water fishing)

I will be glad to give bass lakes away. For a big sleeper bass lake waconia is my choice. I have had bass ruin my muskie bucktails on this lake. Last time I was there in sept I cought a 23 incher on a blue n silver bucktail. It had the whole thing inhaled and bent it! The monster was released.
