The waters of the North Star State teem with everything from hundred-pound lake sturgeon to giant flathead catfish. Of course, walleye is the fish most anglers seek here. That means that world-class smallmouth bass fisheries like Mille Lacs Lake don't see much pressure. Largemouth bass, muskie, and northern pike are all prevalent in Minnesota. Coldwater anglers can find salmon, cisco, as well as brook, brown, lake, rainbow trout, and steelhead.
