Thinking about making a trip up there sometime this summer as i have relatives in Minneapolis. I have heard the lake is awesome for Smallies, how about walleye or anything else? What is the boat traffic like with it’s proximity to the Twin Cities. I will be using a 12′ boat with a 5.5 proabably, is that lake too big for my boat? It looks like there are a lot of small channels and such that wouldn’t get too rough. Thanks for the help!
Welcome to IDA Walleye Wisdom. you might get more responses to your questionon a different forum. Most Minntonka reports are made on “Metro West of I-35″forum.
good luck. have heard there are smallies in there, but it probably is a much better Largemouth and Musky lake, than know as a Smallie lake. good luck. keep us posted.

hey walleye wisdom,
I am sure that you can find some places that have a no wake zone that you can fish without hving too much trouble. otherwise them big crusers will give you a run for your money.

ww,
The smallies are there, and they can be caught, but it would not really be considered a smallie lake. If you can get out early on a week day you should not have a problem. If it is nice out the lake gets very busy with large pleasure boats by mid morning that make the lake rough even for a 19′ walleye boat. I would suggest the Grey’s Bay access as there is a lot of good water close by.
