As the largest natural freshwater lake in Minnesota, Red Lake in Beltrami County is a fantastic destination to consider for your next fishing trip. Reel in lake sturgeon, largemouth bass, yellow perch and more at this idyllic location for anglers. If you want to catch walleye, Minnesota’s state fish, head to Red Lake Nation Fishery in Redby. Do note that if you’re fishing during the open-water season, you should stick to the possession limit to ensure that the number of fish doesn’t decrease beyond a point.
