I fished here last night and caught 2 bass on opposite ends of the lake, fishing was tough, lots of recreational boating and catching the torn up weeds every cast. Had alot of bites, no takers though. It was a nice night though!!

I have fished it a few times, one of the the better spots for bass that I have found are throught the channel into (? lake) just as you go through the channel take an imediate right and fish that shore for the next 50yds....good bas in that are.

Fish the large sand poin that stretches across the main lake in the evening. The channel is good but you will have to be quite and move slowly because the fish spook. There is also a small bay in Olson were you will find bass. I have found nice fish in both lakes.

First be sure to notice the no-wake rule before noon (I think noon...). No biggie, as the lake is small.

We have got the biggest bass on deep deep cranks or heavy jigs and worms in deeper water, or on yellow=black topwaters VERY early in the morning, right up in the very shallow water.

There are a few holes in Olsen Lake that produce quite well, but you will need to watch for them both visually and with locator, as some are fairly small and you just watch the weeds edges.

I got a big old 38" pike on a plastic worm, and another bigger one years ago trolling in after dark with a daredevil.

You need to get there early, as the parking spots fill up quickly, and they WILL ticket you if not in a legit spot. Have fun!

I live just up the hill from this lake. I have been shocked by how many people are using this lake this summer. People are having to park on my street about a half mile away in the middle of the day. I could start a taxi service to drive them back to the landing and make some extra cash. Most of the boats seem to be pleasure boats and not fisherman. I like fishing this lake but I think I will wait for the fall when it is less full.

I fished there last night and caught one bass and one northern both just average fish. There was a county sheriff out there writing tickets to speeders after sunset. Apparently there is a no wake rule in effect by the bouys on the sandy point in the middle of the lake. So watch your speed coming back to the launch area in the evening and make sure your lights are on.

      With the early ice out, how is the curlyleaf pondweed doing?

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
