I fished Snelling Lake in early June and there weren't many weeds and the water was clear. Yesterday, July 27, 2022, I went back to the lake and the weeds were thick and heavy and water clarity was low. Both outings produced lots of nice pike. This lake is a top pick of mine for pike action. Both outings I used ZMan Chatterbaits tipped with X-zone plastics (swammers or craws). The lake is not deep, once you cast you need to start your retrieve quickly to keep your lure running above the weeds. Yesterday I caught 5 pike and lost 3 in the first hour on the lake. The Zman chatterbait's thumping helped the pike find the lure. If you like catching pike, try Zman chatterbaits with Xzone lures on Snelling Lake! NOTE: Snelling part of an MN state park, you'll need a day or annual pass. It also has motor restrictions, I fished it from my kayak.
