History & Status of the Fishery
Winchester Lake is a 320 acre lake located approximately 12 miles east of Orr, MN. This lake has a maximum depth of 50 feet with steep drop-offs. There is a small amount of vegetation as only about 17% of the lake is less than 15 feet deep. Winchester has very little development and activity is limited as access is via a carry-in public access on the east end of the lake.
Winchester is managed primarily for Lake Trout, which have been stocked since 2005. A healthy population has been established with multiple year classes present. Lake Trout from all gears used ranged from about 12 to 27 inches in length, and averaged 19.6 inches. Catch rates were among the highest in the International Falls Management Area. Angling for Lake Trout should also be good in years to come as several stocked year classes have had good survival, and the 2012 year class appears to be strong.
Cisco appear to be abundant, and are likely the primary forage species for Lake Trout in Winchester. Other species sampled in low abundance included Rock Bass, Smallmouth Bass, White Sucker, and Yellow Perch.
