History & Status of the Fishery
Sand Lake (#11-275) is a 43-acre lake located near Longville, Minnesota that has 1.30 miles of shoreline and a maximum depth of 8 feet. There is a state-owned public access on the north shore. This lake is also known unofficially as Upper Sand or Little Sand Lake. It is connected by a navigable channel on the south end to another, larger Sand Lake (#11-279). The catch of bluegill in Sand Lake (#11-275) in DNR test nets was similar to that found in other lakes of this type. Bluegill up to 8 inches were sampled. Largemouth bass were common in the lake, and those in the DNR nets ranged from 7 to 20 inches. Other fish species that are available for anglers to catch are brown bullhead, hybrid sunfish, northern pike, pumpkinseed, and yellow bullhead. Anglers can help maintain or improve the quality of fishing by practicing selective harvest. Selective harvest allows for the harvest of smaller fish for table fare, but encourages release of medium- to large-sized fish. Releasing these fish can help maintain balance in the fish community in Sand Lake and provide anglers the opportunity to catch more and larger fish in the future. Shoreline areas on the land and into the shallow water provide essential habitat for fish and wildlife that live in or near Minnesotas lakes. Overdeveloped shorelines cant support the fish, wildlife, and clean water that are associated with natural undeveloped lakes. Shoreline habitat consists of aquatic plants, woody plants and natural lake bottom soils. Plants in the water and at the waters edge provide habitat, prevent erosion and absorb excess nutrients. Shrubs, trees, and woody debris such as fallen trees or limbs provide good habitat both above and below the water and should be left in place. By leaving a buffer strip of natural vegetation along the shoreline, property owners can reduce erosion, help maintain water quality, and provide habitat and travel corridors for wildlife.

This is a small lake 40 minutes north of Brainerd. Very quiet, peaceful and home to four resident loons. Cabins are limited to one side of the lake (roughly 10 cabins). Over the years we've caught some good size northerns, bass, and sun fish. You can portage to a larger lake (Hand Lake).
