Lake Winnibigoshish
Minnesota Walleye Fishing at its Best
 With
67,000 acres of water Lake Winnie ranks fifth on the
list of Minnesota's largest lakes. However, when talk
turns to Minnesota walleye fishing "Big Winnie" often tops
the list.
Lake Winnibigoshish was
created in 1884 when the Lake Winnie Dam was built on the
Mississippi River. With about 140 miles of mostly
undeveloped shoreline that includes Cut Foot Sioux and offers
access to the Mississippi River Lake Winnie is one of Minnesota
fishing crown jewels.
 Although
the lake is managed by the DNR for walleye and jumbo perch,
anglers also find big northern pike and muskellunge, (the
state record muskie hails from Winnie) crappie, bass and
bluegill. The lake is a premier Minnesota fishing
lake because of its wealth of fish and wildlife habitat.
In Lake Winnie you can find soft bottom and weeds that make
for excellent largemouth bass and sunfish angling as well
as rocky underwater structure perfect for walleye, perch
and smallmouth bass. It has a maximum depth of approximately
70 feet but averages a depth of 15 feet. Add to all
of that the current generated as the Mississippi River flows
through Lake Winnibigoshish and you arguably have one of
the best fisheries in Minnesota.
