Just returned from a trip to Northern Minnesota. Only casually fished on Big Turtle Lake near Marcell, MN. Early during the trip, there was a bass fishing tournament being filmed for broadcast there. Turtle is a well managed smallmouth fishery. You can look through the MN DNR site for the lakes that have lake trout. If you're looking for smallies, pike, muskie, I highly recommend a day or half day float on the St. Croix River on the eastern border about an hour east of the Twin Cities. No shortage of waters to fish in the state. We drove along the Rum River on the way back to the Twin Cities and it looked very enticing. If you're driving through, consider an alternate route through Michigan and try Grayling, MI. Didn't get to go in the fly shops there as we arrived after business hours, but from outside they looked great. Word of advice: Get your flies and gear before you go. Most outfitters are heavy on conventional tackle and are pretty low as the end of the summer season is approaching. Links below:

This month's Trout magazine from TU had an article about Minnesota, it was fascinating!
