Independence Help Needed

[Down to Earth]

I'm coming up for a couple triathlons the first two weekends in June and will be staying at Baker Park Reserve for the whole week. Any info on the lake would be great. Will probably bring the muskie gear up, but family will be there as well so look to target the other species as well. What type of fishery does it have and where are some decent spots to look at for fishing?

Thanks.

their are almost any type of fish in the lake. I haven't fished muskies in the lake but I know there are a lot of big ones in there. It depends on how much the weeds have grown by then.I would start out by the islands and work in behind them for muskies and big norhterns. I did see about a 40 inch muskie back in a boat channel which would be on the west side of the lake also have seen big ones in on the west side when fishing for sunfish late ice. Check back in I plan on going out there next week. I have a cousin that runs the triathlons too.

We stayed at baker park and it was awesome.We didnt bring the boat up but we walked the shores fishing for muskies.I had a couple on and so did my dad but they all got off before we could land them.We also caught some nice bass up there.

Decent bass fishing. Have caught some nice walleye on spinner baits while bass fishing in 3 FOW.

Fun weekday lake. Weekends belong to the waverunners and pleasure boaters. 27" Pike and 24" eye in the same run 2 years ago. 40" ski the following day. Nice lake - keep it that way and practice C&R.
