History & Status of the Fishery
Dago is a 107-acre moderately fertile lake located within the General C. C. Andrews State Forest in northern Pine County. The Dago Lake Day Use Area contains a public boat access with a large parking lot, picnic tables, and several trails. The lakes clear water and sandy shores are popular with swimmers, though no public beach is designated.
Dago Lake was used by the Hinckley Area Fisheries office to rear walleye fingerlings (1977-1985, 1989-1992) with varying success. High water levels from the mid 1980's to the early 1990's allowed fish migration from Sturgeon Lake. The 1986 assessment found the lake 7 feet above the current level. The establishment of game fish populations and the lack of winter kill have now limited the lakes use as walleye rearing pond. The up side is angling opportunities are now present in the Day Use Area .
