Upper Gar Lake is is a very small lake that connects Lake Minnewashta to East Lake Okoboji. Known for its 5 mph speed zone, this lake does have a boat ramp and some pretty good fishing at times. It is a best lake to fish in the spring and early summer. There are a lot of boat docks on the lake and it does have one shoreline with very little development. The 2 bridges, at each ends of the lake, can be productive fishing spots when there is some current running through them. However, a lot of boats come through this area, so the boat traffic does make it tough to fish these spots. The smaller lakes on this chain are better known for panfish, however, anglers do catch some walleye, pike, bass and even muskie are possible.
