INFORMATION FOR BRIDGE LAKE, AND DEER LAKE
These two Lincoln County lakes are well known as “quality” Walleye waters. Hazy Bay on the northeast is good Muskie water, he says, and the island area hold good numbers of Walleyes. It’s not surprising, therefore, that fishing pressure is heavy both summer and winter. Unfortunately, the “personal water craft flotilla” also is out in full force, so you’ll want to fish in the mornings and avoid the lake on summer weekends and holidays. Deer Lake, meanwhile, is home to “big Walleye,” some of them running up to 8 or 9 pounds, you’ll also find some decent Northern Pike, a few Muskies, and some decent Smallies, along with Panfish. There’s wood along the southeast shore, and a few weedy bays. Otherwise, it’s going to be a matter of locating underwater structure. The sand point on the south end, near deep water, offers good possibilities, as do several similar structures on the southwest and east. Deep-diving lures are best for Muskies here, and you’ll want to throw spoon-type baits at the Northerns. There’s light fishing pressure here and recreational pressure is not bad. On Bridge Lake, you’ll find resorts and rental boats, along with a campground. These two lakes are connected to Lake Nokomis, and additional access is via navigable channels from the two good boat launch sites there.
