Fishing

What brings most visitors and tourists to Otter Tail Lake is the fishing. The lake offers a unique fishing experience because of its topography. Some fishing veterans say that it’s one of the most diverse lakes in terms of topography as it has flats, holes, humps, and breaklines.

57% of the lake is less than 15 feet deep, but at its deepest point, it’s 120 feet. These deep areas are the best places to find walleye. Although the lake is rich in fish, anglers who have the most success use sonar equipment.

Otter Tail Lake is stocked with a wide variety of species, including:

• Black Bullhead
• Bluegill
• Lake Sturgeon
• Largemouth Bass
• Northern Pike

In the winter, the lake freezes over with a thick layer of ice, making it the perfect location for ice fishing. This lake it truly a year-round playground.
