Fox Lake?

[CommonSense Guy]

Anyone know about Fox lake in Southern MN. I guess it's near the town of Welcome. I was told there are Muskies in there

Actually Fox Lake is just outside of Sherburn, MN. It does have Muskies in it. The DNR stocked it in 1999 and 2001. Although in 2004 the DNR did a survey and did not net any muskies, but they say muskies are hard to net. I have never fished it but I lived about 15 minutes from it 2 years ago and heard a lot about it. There is also a lot of crappies and walleyes in the lake giving the muskies plenty to eat.

I am in the area a lot, but have not had a chance to fish it yet. From what I've heard the DNR stocked around 500 adults in 1999 and 500 fingerling a few years after that. I have not heard of any large fish moved.

They stocked 520 adults in 1999 and 620 fingerlings in 2001. When the DNR did the survey last Sept. they talked to a lot of locals and the are telling the DNR that there is a lot of fish over 40" in the lake. There is commerical netting on the lake and they told the DNR that they are seeing a lot of large fish also.
