Leech Lake - Minnesota's Third
Largest Lake
 Leech
Lake is the third largest lake entirely within the boundaries of Minnesota
with approximately 112,000 surface acres. The lake has an irregular shape
with a lot of underwater structure and many bays. The deepest area of the
lake is located in Walker Bay where depths reach around 150 feet deep but
most of the lake is less than 35 feet deep.
The fish community is dominated by
species in the perch and pike families. Walleye, northern pike, and
muskellunge are the primary predator species, while yellow perch and cisco
are principal forage species. Leech Lake is well known among anglers for
its excellent walleye, northern pike, and muskellunge fishing but the lake
also boasts large populations of largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, black
crappie and panfish.
