Comments:
Como lake is a great lake for fast bluegill action. All one needs is a hook, bobber, and some worms or corn. Northern pike, walleye, and channel catfish were all sampled during last survey (2008). Be aware of the thin ice around the aeration system if you go out ice fishing. Yearling (about 9 inches long) and adult channel catfish were stocked in 2011. Como Zoo, located within the park, has free admission all summer. Many different kinds of fish can be seen in Como Zoo's aquarium. A lake survey was conducted in August, 2011.
