Long Lake has Walleyes. The New Brighton Sportsmans CLub regualary stocks Long Lake every few years. Watch the ice th9ugh. Long Lake is notorius for haing bad ice due to the springs that are in it. During the summer months and into fall they bring Eyes in off the fishing pier on the South side of the Lake near the boat landing.

You might also try Centerville Lake at Centerville. Take 35 W north to the highway 49 exit. Take 49 north to highway 242 and take a right. follow 242 over the freeway (35W0 and enter Centerville Lake from the Anoka County Park that is there.

Another spot you might try is the Coon Rapids Dam. Use your long rod and fish right below the dam. Cast a jig and minnow or jig and plastic. It is a great Walleye, Smallmouth spot this time of year.

I know the DNR stocks Long Lake with walleye fry every year, but the guys I know that work there have no record of any other stocking going on. If someone is, they need a permit to do it.

Seeing the size of Centerville lake, is that Anoka Park access a place where you can drag a shak out from? If not is there some nice drag out spots on Peltier? Thanks

You won't be able to take the 242 route - 242/14/Main Street (it goes by many names) is under construction - so you will have to access these lakes from the east.

Access Peltier from Mill Road. You can access Centerville from the park - but it is a long haul to where most people fish.
