History & Status of the Fishery
Spectacle is a 240-acre lake in western Isanti County between Cambridge and Princeton. Of the 240 acres, 157 (65%) are shallower than 15 feet (littoral area). Maximum depth is 51 feet. The shoreline length is 3.7 miles and has a maximum fetch of 0.8 miles. A paved public boat access is located on the south shore with parking for approximately eighteen rigs. Despite heavy shoreline development and recreational use, the lake maintains good water quality with water clarity readings in the 10 foot range.
Spectacle Lake anglers will find an abundant population of moderate sized Largemouth Bass. Although bass up to 15 inches were present, most were between 10 and 12 inches. Walleye were likewise present in catchable numbers and harvestable size. The Northern Pike population, while fairly typical in abundance and average size, may provide some memorable fishing with fish in excess of 30 inches present. Panfish, although certainly available to anglers, may better be targeted in another lake if harvest is desired.
