Walker Lake Overview

Walleye are the main attraction here. One of the best for winter perch. Broad sand flats and numerous midlake humps provide plenty of spots to fish.

Walker Lake Features

Otter Tail Lake lies in the middle of a number of river chains connecting Rush and Pine lakes to the north. Walker and Dead lakes to the northwest, Deer and East Lost lakes to the southwest, and West Battle Lake to the south. The Otter Tail River is the deepest of the rivers and can be navigated (with caution) upstream to Rush Lake. The majority of the lake is fringed by broad sand borders that extend well out into the lake, making Otter Tail a premier summer swimming and recreation lake. Otter Tail Lake is known for its excellent walleye fishing. Many perch and fair numbers of northern pike are also caught. Some of the best wintertime yellow perch fishing in the area is found on Otter Tail Lake.
