Cook County fishing lakes
Cook County has 396 surveyed fishing lakes. Saganaga Lake grades A for walleye, the county's strongest fishery, and it is both the largest lake at 18,767 acres and the deepest at 280 feet. Bouder Lake grades A for muskellunge. Surveys here turn up lake trout and brook trout along with walleye, northern pike and smallmouth bass. The DNR stocks 77 lakes.
A Guide lake has a full page with a depth map, DNR survey data, top spots and stocking history. A Survey lake has the survey data and stocking history but no depth map, because the DNR has not published one. The rest open in the live map.
