Now in five states: MN, ND, SD, NE, IA. Free in MN, no account, no ads — the netting and stocking atlas for northern game fish.
The #1 thing you can do to maximize your fishing success is to fish bodies of water that have high quantities of the fish you are targeting. LakeLore makes this information easy to access and affordable for the average angler. It's a field guide to fish populations in publicly surveyed lakes — built for anglers who want to set themselves up for success on the lake.
Decades of state DNR netting surveys, electrofishing data, and stocking records, gathered into one atlas. No accounts. No ads. Free for MN.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Search every surveyed lake in the counties you choose for high catch rate, average size, or stocking density of your target species.
• Select a lake to view catch-per-unit-effort over decades, broken out by gear type.
• Select a lake to view full stocking history — fry, fingerlings, yearlings, adults — with an estimated "adult fish per 100 acres" overlay derived from a survival model.
• Compare lakes side-by-side in a scatter plot: each dot is a lake-survey, colored by stocking density.
• Tap through to the original agency reports — SD GFP PDFs, MN DNR LakeFinder, Iowa DNR Lake Page, ND Game & Fish ArcGIS, Nebraska survey PDFs, and more.
STATES COVERED
• Minnesota (MN DNR)
• Iowa (Iowa DNR)
• Nebraska (Nebraska Game & Parks)
• North Dakota (ND Game & Fish)
• South Dakota (SD Game, Fish & Parks)
SPECIES TRACKED
Walleye, northern pike, smallmouth and largemouth bass, lyellow perch, black and white crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, and many more.
WHY IT EXISTS
State biologists pull nets, weigh fish, and publish the results — usually as PDFs or county-level spreadsheets buried several clicks into agency websites. LakeLore gathers all of it and joins it to every stocking event on record, rendering it as one continuous picture of each lake.
WHAT IT IS NOT
LakeLore is informational only. It does not grant access to any water, replace any fishing regulation, or guarantee anything about the fish you'll catch. Always consult the relevant state agency for the authoritative current rules and licensing requirements.
