Welcome neighbor,
There will be someone along shortly with some guidance. You only have 10-12,000 lakes to choose from. 👍

Does the River I posted go through or to any Lakes. Does any Lakes dump into the River? The fish gotta be close to you. Any local Fishing Gear Supply Stores etc? They usually have lots of info. Look up Fishing Guides in your phone book. Maybe pick their brain ask where trips are they take people on. That is where the fish will be.

Sorry, Jerry, I haven't fished any lakes around you either. I was in New Ulm once when the tornado went through back in the late nineties to help clean up with the Houston Co. Sheriff's Posse, that's it.

My experience in MN is, there are no bad fishing lakes. Any lake you can get on, is a good fishing lake.

I am from White Bear Lake, but have been in Fl for 50 years, so I can't offer any advice. But I would think most any lake up there would be great.

Don't know much about that area, but you can look at this site to find out about lakes:

It appears that some of the lakes in your area are very shallow so I would check any out before I went to them.

Welcome, you may find this interesting. As far as fishing goes, you have many options.

That area of MN without many lakes nearby! Luckily you will have the rivers to fish for eyes and other things like cats, sheephead and carp. Never really know what you will catch. The two main spots by town on the MN river that offer easy shore access are Riverside park and the Minnecon boat landing. Plenty of shoreline around there to mess around with. Both spots have eyes. There are a few other landings and spots up and down the river that you can check out also, but those will require a little more scouting. Swing into the Runnings bait shop,they might have some up to date info on bites and such.

You can also check out the Cottonwood river, which use to have some smallies. Not really a landing here, but there are a few spots around the bridges where you can access. Also can wade it in the summer and access thru the State park.

There are 3 lakes near by that also offer shore fishing: Hanska, Sleepy Eye and Clear. The first two offer the better shore options. Just go to the DNR sight for more info.These are your typically southern shallow lakes, without a lot of structure. You will come to realize most Ulmers skip this local stuff and go up to the Lakes in the Hutch area or east of St. Peter and Mankato. This means that on some days the river isn't all that busy. But more guys are fishing it than years ago.

Good Luck. Oh and the most important thing, if someone offers you a Schells beer, take it easy with those, it can go right thru someone who isn't use to it! :grin: It's a good laxative for some! Same goes for Haustein.
