Fish species in Lake Todd

Lake Todd is a lake in McLeod County, Minnesota. Reliable acreage, depth and storage numbers were not found for Lake Todd.

What to Expect at Lake Todd

Lake Todd is best learned by checking visible cover, incoming water and the first drop into deeper water instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with a similar name.

Fish and Useful Baits at Lake Todd

Fish reported from Lake Todd include black bullhead, black crappie, bluegill, common carp, golden shiner, northern pike, pumpkinseed, yellow bullhead, and yellow perch.

Crappie, Yellow Perch, and Sunfish

For panfish at Todd, use a small jig or minnow beside brush for crappie, and fish a worm, cricket or tiny jig near weeds for bluegill and pumpkinseed, and keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to bottom for yellow perch.

Northern Pike

For large predators at Todd, cast a spoon, spinnerbait or swimbait beside weeds for northern pike.

Bullheads and Carp

For bottom fishing at Todd, fish a worm or small piece of cut bait in quiet water for bullheads, and use corn or dough bait on a simple bottom rig for carp.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Lake Todd

On a first trip to Todd, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.

When to Fish Lake Todd

Spring at Todd is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall at Todd can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
