What time of year are you looking at going there? What species? There are a wide variety of fish in there.

But consider this....It is the only lake in the area where motorboats are allowed. Rochester is 15 minutes away, so there is a large population of people with 1 lake to go to. The Zumbro!

Fishing can be very good there at all times of the year. But, you will have to work around the traffic.

Weekends for me are a no-no. You have no chance at all, maybe the first hour-two of light. After that it is full of pleasure boaters. The lake is long and narrow and people take advantage of that. All the way down the lake and then all the way back up the lake! Some weekdays are the same way.

If you want to know more on it, there is a lot of info. posted on it in the Rochester forum.

Good luck!

I believe next weekend is the Zumbro Zinger. Check out the Rochester fourm. If you are ever gonna get good info on the lake that would be the time.
