Posts: 767 Location: Ames, Iowa | Haven't spent enough time there to catch a fish, but been there a few times. Very clear and deep lake- access is just north off hiway 5, turn left after about 1/3 mile. Great bullrushes, nice rocky flats especially a big one on the right after you go north through the buoys. Island at the north end gets attention. I see more fish there at the surface "sunning/lounging" themselves, oblivious to baits. They all appeared to be about 35"-40"-that may be that Shoepak strain- don't know if they're still in there. I think it's a lake that presents some good long line trolling opportunities. Good luck and let us know how it works for ya. | ||

Posts: 531 Location: Hugo, MN | Pound the reeds. A buddy and I caught five fish there this same week several years back doing just that. Spinnerbaits and bucktails cast a couple feet into the reeds. There really aren't too many areas of the lake that don't hold fish. No big fish in the lake, but it's still fun. | ||

Fish the deep weeds. Got a chunky 41.5" and a 39" in mid-August throwing Bulldawgs over the deep weed humps. I wouldn't get to hung up on the shoreline weed lines since they are endless. Find deep weeds on the humps that top out in 9'-13' and the fish will be there. The fish will also suspend off the bars that top out very shallow. Bulldawgs and Depth Raiders have been my best baits on Baby. | |||

Posts: 3147 | baby is a gorgeous lake the homeowners are doing things right there, most are not ripping up the shoreline weeds/reeds,,,,Baby has one of the highest shoepack leftover genetics still traceable in its fish which means their purestains but with some degree of shoepac leftover genetics we had a professor from the U of Minn come talk to us about it,,it means on average the fish are smaller here but a couple 50's a year still get rumored caught,,,,your trading size for scenery I love the lake | ||
