Walleye
Long Legged Lake is known its World Class Walleye fishing. Typically, at its best in early spring when the walleye are spawning. However, you can expect to catch an abundance of Walleye all summer long. Let one of our expert guides lead you to the best spots to ensure more than enough walleye for lunch!
TACKLE TIPS: We suggest quarter ounce to half ounce jigs with a minnow attached to the hook when fishing for walleye. We provide minnows and also sell an assortment of jigs in our tackle store. It is recommended to use a medium light spinning rod with a smaller reel (it would work to use a medium rod, but you just won’t have the same sensitivity as a medium light rod). For walleyes, a 10 lb test line will work just fine.
To ensure the continuation of Long Legged Lake’s outstanding fishing profile, we require that all walleye over 20 inches be released.
Muskie
Long Legged Lake is known for its monster Muskies, Hybrid/Tiger, Spotted, Barred, and Clear Strains. The Muskie is an aggressive fish, which can be found in abundance in low-lying weed beds through mid-season, and in somewhat deeper waters in late spring and early fall. Some of our largest Muskie are caught in the month of August.
To protect this valuable resource, we encourage strict "CPR' Catch, Photo and Release practices of this beautiful fish. Please to speak to staff for tips on safe handling and release practices when fishing for Muskie.
Northern Pike
Long Legged Lake is known for its large Pike. The Northern Pike is an aggressive fish, which can be found in abundance in low-lying weed beds through mid-season, and in somewhat deeper waters in late spring and early fall. Some of our largest Pike are caught in the month of August.
To ensure the continuation of Long Legged Lake’s outstanding fishing resource, we require that all Northern Pike above 30 inches be released.
Lake Trout
The Lake Trout in Long Legged Lake provide an exciting fishing experience any time of year! The key is, when they adjust to the water temperatures, you need to adjust your fishing techniques. In early spring and then again in early fall, Lake Trout are typically found in shallow waters and can be caught casting with spinning gear. As the water starts warming up in late spring through to late summer, the lake trout drop down in 60 to 90 foot holes where the water is cooler.
To ensure the continuation of Long Legged Lake’s outstanding fishing resource, we require that all lake trout over 26 inches be released.
