Lake Elmo is a blast to fish in the summer! It is one of the clearest and deepest lakes in the area. Don't let that intimidate you. Finesse stuff works best, find the deepest weeds you can find and throw a drop shot in and around them. Jig worms and neko rigs work as well. There are some shallow areas where you can throw a frog early in the day. Green pumpkin and natural colors are key on lake Elmo. The lake is no wake from sunrise till 11 am, I'd recommend fishing during this time as the recreational traffic can get bad.
