Flour Lake

Flour Lake sits in Minnesota, United States and offers the kind of structure-driven lake fishing that suits both bank anglers and those working from a small boat or float tube. Fish on a stillwater like this don't move much during the heat of the day — finding shade, cooler thermoclines, or current from inflowing streams is the local trick. Most successful trips to Flour Lake come down to reading the water before tying on a lure.

Fishing Techniques

• For Smallmouth bass

  Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.

• For Northern cisco

  Use a slow, jigging retrieve near drop-offs or submerged structures where ciscoes congregate, paying close attention to your depth finder to target the suspended schools.

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.
