About this water

Leech Lake is one of Minnesota's largest and most productive walleye lakes, and the Federal Dam access on the south end is a premier launch point for anglers. The lake is also famous for its muskie fishery, with trophy fish regularly exceeding 50 inches. Spring walleye fishing near the dam tailwaters is particularly productive immediately after ice-out.
