Sand Lake Fishing

Sand Lake Fishing

Sand Lake, located in Minnesota, is a top fishing destination with 4,300 acres and a maximum depth of 70 feet. A large portion of the lake is 50 feet deep. This unique feature makes it cooler than most other Walleye fishing lakes during the hottest part of the summer, allowing fish to remain active year-round. Sand Lake is considered one of the top Walleye lakes in Minnesota.

The lake boasts an extensive shoreline, emerging weed lines, humps, sharp ledges with lots of rubble and rocks, all of which provide excellent fishing spots. Apart from Walleye, anglers will find a variety of fish, such as Bluegill, Crappie, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Perch, Rock Bass, and Smallmouth Bass in Sand Lake.
