Winter kill Lakes

[JBMasterAngler]

I tried looking for lists of lakes that have winter killed across MN, but I can't really find anything. Does anyone have a link to the lakes that had die offs last year and/or the year before?

This link will get you some of the counties out West.

This can be a great tool

You would see any lakes listed until late winter when the Oxy levels get lower in the shallow lakes.

Normally but sometimes they post mid winter

Also remember fish grow fast in winter kill lakes!

Anyone been on any winter kill lakes yet?

One that partially killed three winters ago. Shallow fertile lake. Fish are growing fairly fast. Big yr class of 5-6in fish last winter. Lots of 9s this yr....  by next there should be quite a few keepers of the locals don't clean it out first, or another winter kill dosen' t happen.
