Fish species in T Lake

T Lake is a lake in Lake County, Minnesota. T Lake covers about 295 acres and reaches a recorded 15 feet.

How the Size and Shape of T Lake Affect Fishing

T Lake is small enough to check weeds, wood, rock and the first deep drop without spending the whole day moving around.

Fish and Baits at T Lake

Fish reported from T Lake include black crappie, blacknose shiner, johnny darter, lake whitefish, northern pike, pumpkinseed, rock bass, spottail shiner, walleye, white sucker, and yellow perch.

Crappie, Yellow Perch, and Sunfish

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

Walleye

For roaming fish at T, jig a minnow or troll a crankbait along points and deeper edges for walleye.

Northern Pike

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

Rock Bass

At T, use a small jig, worm or tiny crankbait around rock and firm shorelines for rock bass.

Lake Whitefish

For other cold-water fish at T, keep a small jig or natural bait near clean bottom for lake whitefish.

How the Seasons Change T Lake

Spring at T 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 T can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.

A Simple Plan for Fishing T Lake

On a first trip to T, 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.

Useful Tackle for T Lake

A medium spinning rod covers smaller lures at T, while a heavier rod and stronger leader are better for northern pike.

T Lake FAQs

Where should an angler start on the 295-acre T Lake?

At T, pick one cove and the closest point or drop into deep water, then fish that small area well before making a long move.

Should anglers fish the 15-foot deep end of T Lake?

Not every trip. A better place at T is where a point, drop-off or group of baitfish gives the fish a reason to stop.

Which reported fish is a simple first target at T Lake?

Black crappie is on the fish list for T, so start with a bait made for that fish instead of guessing at a species that may not be there.
