Lake city' Lakes

[Guest]

Has anyone ever been in this Lake city area? Just about 60 miles away from Mpls, good fishing, that what I've heard, I would like to give it a try this 4th of July w/e, boat rental places? Small lakes for pan fish? Well I'm taking along with my 12 yrs old daughter...thanks in advance for your tips.

Welcome to the site! The Lake City area is beautiful all year. The lake right now is fairly full, but very fishable. There are shore fishing opportunities within the city itself and further downstream about nine miles , at the foot of the lake where it turns into river again, is a small resort area called LaCapolis. You will find boat rentals and a resort there. Fishing right now is probably best in this area of the lake. We are talking about Lake Pepin whenever "lake" is being referred to. Your primary fish from either shore or boat will be sauger/walleye, possibly northern, crappie and sunfish. Bass are also possible. Trolling bait on a lindy rig or pulling crankbaits around will get you the fish.When you get to Lake City ,or near there, begin asking what people are fishing with and adjust your outting to that info. The people are friendly here and the whole area is simply rich in everything....with a 12 yearold in tow, there's a lot of history and culture that might just go along with the fishing. Enjoy yourself...be safe!
