Nesland Lake

Nesland Lake is a tiny stocked trout pond 13km ESE of the village of Shell Lake and 80km W of PA. The lake is located right off Highway 3.

There is a primitive boat launch with no dock that is suitable for small boats or paddlers.

It's popular as a fishing destination and is stocked with Rainbow Trout and Tiger Trout. Recently invasive Yellow Perch in the lake has become a problem for the stocked fish. Supposedly they shut off the aerator last winter to try and kill them off. Hopefully, there are still some trout there!

This lake has been personally visited by myself, Matthew Siemens.

Invasive perch have gotten into the lake. I understand it’s getting pretty hard to catch trout these days because of it.

Not a very pretty lake, but it's stocked and easy to access which makes it pretty popular.
