Pelican Lake is a good fishing lake right in the middle of Orr, Minnesota. This is a popular lake to stop at for a day for many anglers that are making the far drive from some of the states down south up into Canada. For those of you that plan on making a trip here for multiple days, there are a lot of fishing opportunities that will keep you busy here. The lake is known for its good bass fishing and panfish. Largemouth bass and smallmouth bass have special regulations here and that has helped this lake become a very good lake for targeting quality-sized bass. You will find both species of fish here in fishable numbers. Most anglers target panfish on this lake. The crappie and bluegill fishery is very good here and it’s possible to fill a livewell with some nice-sized fish.
Northern pike fishing is also solid on this lake if you want to target them. Don’t expect to catch huge numbers of them here, but you will get some action if you fish for them. The fishing for walleye is tougher on this lake, but there are some walleye in the lake and some anglers do fish for them.
