Pine County fishing lakes

Crappie is Pine County's strongest fishery. Cross Lake grades A for crappie, and Island Lake grades A for yellow perch. Sturgeon Lake is the largest of the county's 50 surveyed lakes at 1,706 acres, and Grindstone Lake is the deepest at 153 feet. The DNR stocks 15 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.
