Wish I could help you. I live near there, and have been planning to try it out, but haven't made it out yet. Maybe this weekend. I'll post and let you know if I find fish if you'll do the same.

The lake is very deep in places and does produce some fish. I have not heard about any eyes coming outof there but one of the record musky was landed there in the last couple of years. Big bass, med perch and panfish. It has been some time since I have ice fished it but there are regulars out there with permanent houses. South end down by overflow inlet would be a good place for action. Pike, bass, crappie.

Was out on Lake Elmo Tuesday.Fished the Southwest corner where some houses were,not a nibble all day .A couple of guys told me they caught some 3-5 Lbs. Northerns there the day before.Very tough lake to fish at 130 ft.Will give it another try next week.

guys,

Where can I get access to Lake Elmo? Do I have to go through the county park? Thanks in advance!

The park road is closed in winter,the only public access is on the Southeast corner by Lake Elmo Road.There is a small section of park property that you can enter.Parking on Lake Elmo road is permitted,but not from 2am-6am.(30-40 yard walk)
