Located in Big Stone County bordering South Dakota, this southwestern Minnesota multi-species gem is an expansive 12,610 acres and 27 miles long and offers lots for anglers to explore. The lake is filled with great walleye-holding structure including rocks, boulders, and stone; hence the name. With most water under 16 feet, anglers can do a lot of casting for walleyes, although trolling does come into play, especially with spinners and Slo-Death rigs. Windblown shorelines, points and rock piles are great places to investigate any time of year. Besides walleyes, the lake also has some big bluegills, crappies, white bass, and largemouth bass. Ice fishing draws a lot of anglers from both Minnesota and South Dakota to chase plus-sized perch during the winter months. One of the overlooked bites on Big Stone is the phenomenal, underfished early-season largemouth bass bite. Working the shorelines and docks consistently produces lots of 3- to 5-pound fish.
