Lake Minnetonka contains 14,310 acres of water, has more than 100 miles of shoreline, and is surrounded by 15 separate communities. The best part is that it's chock-full of fish.
It's one of the best bass lakes in the Upper Midwest, and the bass are only getting bigger. The average size caught in tournaments is now three pounds, and five- to seven-pounders are not unusual. A virtual wall of weeds on the surface of the water and the sparse stems underneath provide hiding places for the bass,(Eurasion Milfoil). A small army of anglers pounds this lake regularly, convinced that the next state record will come out of these waters. Minnetonka is one of only two lakes in the metro area that contains smallmouth bass. Monster northern pike are also caught regularly in this lake.It also holds healthy population of muskies. The sunfish and crappie supply is limitless,and Gander Mountain holds a crappie tournament here every spring.
Minnetonka has some of the best icefishing around for being so close to the Twin Cities.This is without a doubt,one of the better multi-species lakes to fish.
