Minnesota offers many great musky fishing options for angers. Leech Lake, Cass Lake, Mantrap Lake, and Lake Vermilion are just a few in the Northern part of the state that offer anglers opportunities at some monster fish. In the South western part of the state the Alexandria Area has a couple gems that grow good numbers of musky. Lake Oscar and Lobster Lake are our two favorites.
