Goose near Forest Lake

[Luck e 1]

Has anyone fished the little Goose Lake by Forest Lake? I saw it on a map and was just wondering if it had any fish in it.

[Ray Esboldt]

I know it has fish in it. However, I've only fished it in the summer. The water is real cloudy; I mean real cloudy. There isn't a whole lot of stucture. It kind of reminded me of a pothole you would find out in farm country.

it was a good lake about 6-7 years ago but is fished out now every thing is small. Bass fishing can be ok if you are looking to get away from all the boat trafic

Is it more of a panfish/bass lake? I am just looking for a smaller lake where they ice may come off earlier.

Any public access?

[Ray Esboldt]

There's a public access. It's not a real good one, but it's there. There might be parking for 3 rigs.

I take it you are looking for a good ice out lake you might want to try sunrise it is a private lake that can produce some nice panfish. stop in at mikes bait on hwy8 he will give you a map and mabe a few spots out there.

Sorry Deep Portage but i would have to disagree that sunrise would be a good place to ever fish. It used to be great but it's not worth the 10 bucks to get on it. In the land of 10,000 you can find a better lake. There are a bunch of little lakes that put out better fishing west and north of north branch and harris and they are free. Not trying to rip on you at all but i simply do not recommend sending anyone to sunrise lake. If you're looking for a place to get ice out panfish watch this thread and you will find a place to fish.

I agree with not having to pay any money but sometimes it pays to i fished this little pond and my buddy and i have to help the farmer to get on it but is it worth it.

i am sorry you do not think sunrise is a good lake.I was born and rased in chisago and still live there today and when i want a limit of panfish for the table i go to sunrise. ya it's not the best lake in the state for panfish but it works when you are looking for close late season panfish lake.there not all moster gills but you can fillter though the small ones and get a limit
