My wife and I have been fishing Lake Winnibigoshish for 13 years now. It is a 5 hour drive from our home in Eagle Lake, M.N. to our seasonal camper lot at NorthLand Lodge. In my opinion, Winnie is the most consistent Walleye fishery in the state.There is also an abundance of Jumbo Perch, Northern Pike and pan fish. The lake is surrounded by the Chippewa National Forest which makes for a very scenic view, and offers several miles of ATV, biking or walking trails. We have tried other lakes closer to our home, but nothing compares to the experience of Lake Winnie.
