History & Status of the Fishery
Wakefield Lake is a small, dark water and secluded lake located in northeastern Aitkin County. While about half the shoreline is in state ownership there is no developed public access, which means anglers must obtain access through private property. The remote location and challenging access limit the amount of fishing pressure the lake receives.
The fish community contains several naturally reproducing populations of popular game fish species including black crappie, bluegill, northern pike, and walleye. Although none are particularly abundant, each species has a population with favorable size characteristics. Largemouth bass are also present, but at even lower densities. The lake has soft water and low productivity, which results in slow growing fish populations that can be susceptible to increased fishing pressure. Anglers that appreciate solitude, tranquility, and natural beauty will not be disappointed on a trip to this lake and their effort can be rewarded with some quality fishing. Due to the small size of lake, selective harvest of smaller individuals is encouraged to maintain the quality size component in the fish populations.
