Catch per net (CPUE) is the DNR survey's count per gill net or trap net set; higher means more of that species were sampled, not a fishing forecast. Top species per gear shown; where we have no verified common name for a DNR code, the code itself is shown.
Frontenac Lake (DOW # 29-0241-00) is located four miles east of Becida in northern Hubbard County. Frontenac has a surface area of 204 acres with a maximum depth of 16 feet. There is a state-owned public access located on the southeast shore of the lake off Schoolcraft Drive. Frontenac Lake provides fishing opportunities for Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, and panfish. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different types based on physical, chemical, and other characteristics. Frontenac is in Lake Class 35. Lake Class 35 lakes generally have a very high percentage of littoral area (depths less than 15 feet), with very irregularly shaped shorelines. Other Lake Class 35 lakes in the Park Rapids area include: Crystal, Middle Crooked, Pickerel and Waboose. Anglers can expect to find an abundant population of Northern Pike in Frontenac Lake. Sampled Northern Pike had an average length and weight of 18.3 inches and 1.3 pounds, with fish sampled up to 30.2 inches. Yellow perch were seen in lower numbers compared to similar lakes, with most fish 5 - 8 inches in length, with a few reaching 10 inches. Largemouth bass were sampled in similar numbers to past surveys, but were smaller in size with the largest fish of the survey at 11.1 inches. Frontenac supports a healthy number of bluegills that had an average size of 6.4 inches, with fish sampled up to 9.5 inches. Pumpkinseeds were also sampled in good numbers, with about half of the fish sampled in the 6- to 8-inch range. Natural reproduction has maintained a small, but quality size walleye population. Currently no aquatic invasive species (AIS) have been identified in Frontenac Lake. To avoid spreading AIS, lake users are required to remove all aquatic plants or animals from their watercraft and drain all water from their boat before leaving the access.
