Forest Lake is a popular fishing lake in the metro area. Largemouth bass and walleye are the main targets for most anglers here. This lake does have a lot of vegetation growth in the summer with plenty of recreational boaters, so you may have to get out early on the weekends or during the week if you want to hit all your favorite fishing spots without being crowded. Other species of fish here are muskie, northern pike, bluegill, crappie, rock bass and perch.
