Fishing

Wasson Lake is a 450 acre spring-fed lake offering clear waters and great structure. The shoreline offers many submerged points, surrounded by deep water, down timber, and large areas of coontail, cabbageweed and wild rice. With 4 islands and numerous bays, even on windy days, you'll find shelter. Wasson Lake provides great fishing for panfish, northern pike and smallmouth and largemouth bass.

Loon Point Resort has 14 foot fishing boats, 9.9 hp Honda electric start motors, electric trolling motors, swivel boat seats, and portable fish finders – all available for you to rent. Larger groups may enjoy renting our pontoon for an afternoon of fishing. If you're bringing your own boat, you can enjoy fishing not only Wasson Lake, but also the many lakes in our county. There are a few walleye lakes nearby as well as numerous lakes noted for panfish, northern and bass. Some guests enjoy taking a day trip to Lake Winnibigoshish – about an hour drive from the resort.

Species in Wasson Lake include – Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Crappies, Bluegill.

	NORTHERN PIKE - A powerful fighter The northern's fighting spirit and abundance make him a more popular game fish each year. He should not be confused with the pickerel, which is practically non-existent in Minnesota. Minnesota's record northern weighed 45 lbs 12 oz.
	LARGEMOUTH BASS The largemouth's upper jaw extends beyond his eye while the smallie's jaw does not. The record largemouth weighed 8 lbs 9.5 oz.
	SMALLMOUTH BASS A two or three-pound smallmouth is a good fish with Minnesota' record standing at an even 8 lbs. The smallmouth requires moderately cold water with clean gravel or boulder bottom. You can fish top, deep or in the middle for smallmouth. Likes the little minnow plugs that move quickly through the rocks.
	CRAPPIE Great tasting fish to please the whole family. Great for hitting on fast moving minnows.
	BLUEGILL & PANFISH Found in most of the lakes and streams of Minnesota, they are the favorite of the canoe pole set and also the small but growing group of fly-rod anglers who claim they are the greatest game fish that swims. Weed beds are a common hideout, but better still, look for a sunken brush pile or a fallen tree.
