Located just 20 miles west of downtown Minneapolis, Lake Minnetonka is one of the Twin Cities metro area's most popular fishing destinations. Spanning nearly 15,000 acres with over 100 miles of shoreline, the lake is a complex system of interconnected bays and channels. There are officially more than 30 named bays, with the most prominent including Wayzata Bay, Excelsior Bay, St. Albans Bay, Grays Bay, Gideon's Bay, Crystal Bay, West Upper Lake, Smithtown Bay, and Halsted's Bay.
All these bays and channels provide a unique diversity that makes the lake a perfect habitat for a wide array of game fish, including Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Sunfish, Walleye, and Muskie. While the extensive size and variety of structure, vegetation, and water clarity offer endless opportunities, they also underscore the value of local expertise. The lake's varied depths and complex bottom structure can be challenging to navigate. For example, while the average depth is around 30 feet, Crystal Bay has a maximum depth of over 110 feet! Having a seasoned fishing guide like Kurt who knows the lake's nuances is the key to a productive day on the water.
