How Net Lake is stocked
This lake in Becker County, Minnesota spreads over about 221 acres, and its USGS outline traces roughly 3.7 miles of shore. The state records in the table above list walleye. Those were fingerlings, so this is a long-term stocking: the fish need a few seasons to reach a size worth keeping.
For walleye, our gear guide suggests lead-head jigs with plastic tails, blade baits or a nightcrawler on a spinner rig. Small waters warm quickly, so early morning and evening are often best in summer.
Other waters close by on our map include McCraney Lake, Snider Lake and Tulaby Lake. Rules for Net Lake follow Minnesota DNR regulations, linked on this page. Tap Watch for stocking to get an email when new records appear.
