Walleye at Foot Lake
This lake in Kandiyohi County, Minnesota spreads over about 492 acres, and its USGS outline traces roughly 6.3 miles of shore. The state records in the table above list walleye. Those were fry, 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. A boat or kayak helps on a water this large, but shore anglers can still work points near the access.
If you want a second stop, Solomon Lake and Eagle Lake are among the nearest waters we list. Minnesota DNR sets the season and limits here; check its rules before you go. Signed-in users can watch this water for an email when it is stocked again.
