Crow Wing County fishing lakes
Largemouth bass is Crow Wing County's strongest fishery. Whitefish Lake grades A for bass and A for yellow perch. Pelican Lake is the largest of the county's 198 surveyed lakes at 8,367 acres, with a maximum depth of 104 feet. The deepest is Mahnomen, Alstead & Arco Mine Lake, an old mine pit that goes down 525 feet. The DNR stocks 66 lakes here.
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.
