LAKE VERMILION—Anglers looking for a shore fishing spot on one of northern Minnesota’s top walleye lakes will want to check out the new fishing pier which recently opened on Wakemup Bay.
The Minnesota DNR is committed to ensuring every Minnesotan can enjoy the many outdoor experiences the state has to offer. The DNR maintains more than 200 accessible fishing piers throughout the state in both urban and rural settings. Shore fishing is a great way to try out angling without a boat. All people need is a pole, hook, bait and a little luck. To view all of Minnesota’s shore fishing locations, visit the DNR website (mndnr.gov/fishing_piers).
The upgraded fishing piers are funded by Get Out MORE (Modernize Outdoor Recreation Experiences), a one-time investment of $150 million to help ensure Minnesotans of all abilities and interests can enjoy a world-class recreation system
