Aerial view of Lake Zumbro


Recommended Posts

I found this picture while looking at the internet. I thought I would post it for reference. Some people who never been out to the lake want to know where places are that we talk about. It's not the best picture but oh well.

Thanks for the info. That is handy. I'll post some more links that may help people to explore a bit.

Satellite view of Lake Zumbro that you can zoom in on and move around

Map view that you can zoom in to navigate and see what the streets are.

As a tip, click once on the map then use your arrow keys or the + or - keys to move around or zoom in or out.

Thanks for the map. How did you know i was a visual learner. Hey is there any way you can add high banks in there. That has always been a mystery to me. If you can't understandable you have already done enough. Much appreciated. ike

Look at number seven. Rattlesnake Ridge. It's long spoon shaped point. Sometimes we call it Neitz's point. Go straight out from there. Opposite shore. That's the high banks area. All the way along that shore.

To get an even better look of the lake via aerial photos, check out the full color orthophotos:

Interactive MN Aerial Photos

To find the lake, find the junction of Goodhue, Wabasha, and Olmstead Counties and look a tad northeast. With some zooming/panning you should be able to find it.

When you're close, Neitz's point and the highbanks will look like this:

I think I see Rick trying to get back in the boat back there.

There too. He spreads his water-worth around, ya know. He has sampled water temps at both ends of the lake. Real versatile he is!

There is no need to pick on somebody for sampling water temps.


Tyler,

I don't think Rick had as warm of water temps as you did testing the temps back in July on the Backwaters.

      Boy this wind is something. I was going to go deer hunting for the early doe season but the wind is a little strong.

      My electronics often say that I am on land when I'm on the water. Trust is a two-way street!

      Fishing is still pretty good.  Went with a friend and the dog yesterday for about 5 hours, managed 19 largemouth and 10 pike.  I normally don't take photos of pike but several of these fish were on the larger side and quite thick so they made the cut.  One of these days my fishing season is going to be over but for now the fish are still cooperating.

      On our fall trip, we saw many examples of downed trees on Pine Island. Small trees being cut with chain saw and piled. Any insight on project?

      On the South End...  Fall fishing on Lake of the Woods is excellent right now.  The colder water temps have the fish snapping.     Walleyes and saugers are being caught in a variety of locations across the south shore from 20 to 27 feet.  Water temps are in the low to mid 50's. Jigging with frozen, or live emerald shiners is catching a pile of fish.  Anchor up and jig over the side of the boat.  Typically, lots of small fish to sort through but you will get your keepers along with some larger walleyes. Jig colors to consider are gold, glow white, glow red, chartreuse, orange, and pink.  Gold combined with any one of these colors is often a good choice.   On the Rainy River... The river continues to get better and better with more walleyes moving in each week.  Good fish being caught in many sections of the river.  The morning and evening hours have had the best bite. Walleyes are actually being caught using three methods.  Jigging with frozen or live emerald shiners, pulling spinners and trolling crankbaits.  15 - 25 feet of water has been the norm. Sturgeon fishing continues to pick up as the water cools.  The "Catch and Release" sturgeon season is in place right now.  The river holds a myriad of species of fish.  Crappies, pike, smallmouth bass, suckers, bullheads and even an eelpout or two are being caught up and down the river.   Four Mile Bay is also holding some nice walleyes as they make their way in from the lake.  Various areas on the edge of the current and channel break are good spots to begin. Up at the NW Angle... Another great week of fall fishing up at the Angle.  Walleyes are keying in on various areas with structure.  Points, neck down areas with some current and transition areas from rock to mud are good right now. Walleyes are the most sought after but in the fall, lots of muskie and crappie anglers are around as well.  Good reports on a variety of species including jumbo perch and pike as the waters cool.      Put on some warm fall clothes, make sure your camera is ready and make some incredible fall fishing memories.  There is still time to get in that last fall trip.
