Fishing

Welcome to the lakes and rivers within the Hutchinson Fisheries Management Area. The management area includes McLeod, Meeker, Redwood, Renville and Sibley counties. Over 550 waterbodies are found in these counties, of which 50 lakes are actively managed for fishing. The remaining waters consist of wetlands and shallow waterfowl lakes that typically do not support fish populations.

Surveys of fish populations and aquatic habitats are carried out on each managed lake or stream every one to five years. The information collected is used to monitor fish populations, evaluate management activities, and to develop new management plans. These reports contain information on fish populations such as abundance, sizes, age, and growth rates. Along with fish information, these reports include information on water chemistry, shoreline and watershed characteristics, aquatic vegetation, and much more.

Management plans detailing goals, objectives, and activities on each lake or stream managed for fishing are prepared by the DNR Section of Fisheries. If you are interested in information on a particular lake, or would like to review the current management plan, stop in at our office in Hutchinson. We are located one mile west of Hutchinson on Highway 7. Our phone number is (320) 587-2717.
