Windom Area: Fishing Opportunities in 2013

 

Each year the Windom Area Fisheries Office conducts full lake surveys (LS), fish population assessments (PA), and other special assessments (SA) to monitor fish populations and other non-fish lake characteristics.  Here we have posted some of the 80 lakes in the 10 Counties we cover that you might like to try based on the data we have collected over the past few years.  If you are interested in further information please contact the Windom Area Fisheries Office.
