Redwood Falls Area Lakes

[grizzald]

Hey guys, my wife and i just moved to Redwood and i need some info on lakes in the area. I have never fished around here before and need some help!

You are 60 minutes from fishable lakes with the exception of two prairie lakes which can be good early in the year. The Minn. River though is excellent all year normally. This year its hard to get to without a boat due to high water levels.

Welcome to Redwood.

Minnesota River is generally pretty good fishing. If you don't want to fish the river, head north to the Wilmar area.

You now live in one of the only counties in mm without a natural lake, drive to wilmar area!8

I grew up in Brown county. Not too many lakes around your area there by RWF. Like a couple already said. (Minnesota River). It can be excellent. You can get into fishing from shore in a few spots and target channel and flathead Catfish. My personal best came in 1992 and was a 44 pound flatty. Had a few channels in the low teens too. Also could target walleyes, White bass etc. The river has fantasic variety really. Sturgen, Pike, Saugers, Suckers, Carp, Mooneyes, Gar... you never really know what you'll get. Water is really high this year though. If you do want lakes to fish like you said in your post you'll prob have to cruz up to willmar / spicer area. Good luck.
