Muskellunge are typically low in abundance and grow to sizes which are not effectively sampled with gill nets. The 2000 catch of a northern pike per experimental gill net was 4.9. Northern pike sampled in experimental gill nets in 2000 ranged in length from 10.0 to 37.7 inches with an average length of 21.1 inches. This past summer and winter we had an average Perch bite. Nice summer Perch were readily caught off our 3 lake piers and provided lots of fun angling for young and old alike.
Leech Lake remains one of Minnesota's top fishing lakes.
There are acres and acres of UN-crowded clear water to explore, fish and just generally enjoy. Brindley's is a great place to call home while you enjoy the lake. Last year our harbor staff cleaned many thousands of fish . . . Brindley's is the summer home to Ted Gwinn's Guide Service. Ted is a highly respected professional with over 17 years of guiding on Leech Lake.
