    Perfect kayak fishing lake. I fished it a lot last fall and can't resist the pike action there. 7 members from the MN Kayak Fishing Association met up to fish it May 17, 2022. The weeds were just starting to come up. Pike were stacked in south end of the lake. I used Z Man Chatterbaits with an X Zone Craw trailer. Leaders are must with the numbers of pike we caught, several of us had bite offs even using fluorocarbon leaders. The fish were incredibly active, jumping at lures as you pulled the lure out of the water at the end of a cast. I caught a couple dozen pike and missed at least a dozen. The largest pike caught in the group was 35"

    I was throwing a 4/0 EWG underspin hook set up with a 3.8" Keitech smallmouth magic swimbait. I had colored the tail with a chartreuse garlic dip. Snelling is not a deep lake but it does have a lot of submerged vegetation. I work submerged weed edges into deeper water (7-8') for the most consistent action. A steady retrieve with a occasional pause was the most effective way to generate a strike that day.
