Lake Ann

Tucked into Minnesota, United States, Lake Ann is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Lake Ann should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.

Fishing Techniques

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure presentation until you find what the bass are keying on, as their preferences can change daily based on weather and water conditions.

• For Northern pike

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

• For Black crappie

  Vary your retrieve speed until you find what the crappie are responding to; sometimes slow and steady is best, other times a twitching action triggers strikes.
