Best Bluntnose Minnow Lakes in Minnesota

Each lake's 0-100 FishGrade score blends two signals from Minnesota DNR surveys: abundance, which compares the lake's catch rate to the DNR normal range for similar lakes using the survey gear that best samples bluntnose minnow, and size, the share of sampled fish reaching keeper size. To keep the list meaningful, it only includes named lakes of at least 100 acres with a current score.
