Cass Lake: An Angler’s Paradise

Cass Lake, just northeast of the city of the same name, is the largest of the eight lakes that make up the Cass Lake chain of lakes. The scenery is incredible on the 15,596-acre lake, with its 26.9 miles of forested shoreline and sandy beaches. Cass offers fine populations of walleye, northern pike and perch. It is also popular with muskie anglers. The yellow perch catch has been up considerably in recent years, too, with perch reaching the 10- to 11-inch range. It’s one of the Minnesota lakes that always ends up on someone’s list of great fishing places. One of the most unique and interesting features of Cass Lake is Star Island, which has its own lake, Lake Windigo situated within the confines of the island featuring more than six miles of hiking trails.
