History & Status of the Fishery
Indian Lake is located three miles northwest of Akeley in southeastern Hubbard County. Indian has a surface area of 51 acres and a maximum depth of 36 feet. A county owned public access is located on the north shore of the lake off Hillview Road, but this access is narrow with limited space for parking. Indian provides angling opportunities for Northern Pike, Largemouth Bass, and panfish.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different types based on physical, chemical, and other characteristics. Indian is in class 28. Class 28 lakes are generally small, have hard water that is very clear and regularly shaped. Other class 28 lakes in the work area include: Big Bass, Dinner, Emma, Gilmore, Little Blueberry, Nagel, Newman, Shipman, and Thomas.
Northern Pike abundance was high, in line with recent surveys. Anglers will find Northern Pike from 15 - 26 inches in length. Northern Pike sampled had an average length of 20 inches and weighed 1.6 pounds.
Largemouth Bass were sampled in good numbers again in 2022. They had a small average length of 8.3 inches, with the longest sampled at 15.7 inches.
Only a few crappies were sampled in this survey, with the largest at 10 inches. Indian also provides fishing for Bluegill and Pumpkinseed; with most fish under 8 inches. Although sampled in very low numbers, perch of suitable size are available for anglers to target.
Currently, no Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) have been identified in Indian Lake. To avoid spreading AIS, lake users are required to remove all aquatic plants or animals from their watercraft and drain all water from their boat before leaving the access.
