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.
Minnie Lake is a small 75 acre lake located three miles north of Lake George in northern Hubbard County. Minnie is a shallow lake, with a maximum depth of only 16 feet. There is a county-owned public access with an earthen ramp located on the southeast shore of the lake. Minnie Lake provides angling opportunities primarily for panfish and Largemouth Bass. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different types based on physical, chemical, and other characteristics. Minnie is in lake class 39. Class 39 lakes are characterized as being shallow and having a high littoral area (less than 15 feet in depth). Other area lakes in this same classification include Hennepin and Paine. Minnie Lake has an abundant panfish population and can provide good fishing for Bluegill, Pumpkinseed, and Black Crappie. Past and present surveys have shown Bluegill and Black Crappie populations in Minnie to fluctuate from moderate to high numbers. Anglers will find most Bluegill and Pumpkinseed in the 5-7 inch size range and Black Crappie in the 9-11 inch size range. Minnie Lake supports an abundant Largemouth Bass population. The spring electrofishing survey sampled high numbers of Largemouth Bass when compared to other area lakes. Anglers will find good fishing for Largemouth Bass in the 12-15 inch size range. Good water quality, aquatic vegetation, and spawning substrate provides excellent habitat for Largemouth Bass in Minnie Lake. The habitat in Minnie Lake is best suited for Largemouth Bass and panfish populations. However, a low density stocking of Walleye provides anglers with an additional fishing opportunity. Past and present surveys have shown low numbers of Northern Pike in Minnie Lake. While abundance is low, some moderate to large-sized Northern Pike are present. Currently no Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) have been identified in Minnie 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 boats before leaving the access.
