Field note · Minnesota stocks by year, not by truck day: walleye fry go in within weeks of ice-out, fingerlings and yearlings mostly in fall, and stream trout in spring and fall. A row here means the fish went in during that year; DNR adds the year's rows after the fact, so the current year can look empty until winter.

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.
Hattie Lake is located five miles northwest of the town of Lake George in northern Hubbard County. Hattie has a surface area of 359 acres and a maximum depth of 39 feet. There is a state-owned public access located on the east shore of the lake. Anglers will find good populations of Largemouth Bass, Bluegill, Northern Pike, Black Crappie, as well as a bonus Walleye population. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different types based on physical, chemical, and other characteristics. Hattie is in lake class 31. Class 31 lakes generally have hard water and a regularly shaped shoreline. Other class 31 lakes in the Park Rapids management area include Boulder, Evergreen, and Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Crow Wing lakes. Hattie supports good populations of Largemouth Bass and panfish. Anglers have reported good Largemouth Bass fishing with bass of all sizes caught. Good numbers of Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Black Crappie were sampled. However, the size of panfish ran small with Bluegill in the 6-7 inch size range and Black Crappie in the 9-10 inch size range. Present and past surveys have shown an abundant Northern Pike population. Sampled Northern Pike had an average length of 20.4 inches and weight of 2.2 pounds with fish measured up to 31.5 inches. The Walleye population in Hattie has fluctuated from low to moderate numbers over the years. Walleye were sampled in low numbers in 2023 with fish ranging from 19.6 to 26.3 inches. Yellow Perch are present in moderate numbers but tend to run small for angling with most fish under 9.0 inches in length. Other species sampled included high numbers of Yellow Bullhead. Hybrid Sunfish were sampled in moderate numbers, while Rock Bass, Tullibee (Cisco), and Brown Bullhead were sampled in low numbers. Currently no aquatic invasive species (AIS) have been identified in Hattie. To avoid spreading AIS, lake users are required to remove all aquatic plants and animals from their watercraft and drain all water from their boat before leaving the lake.
