Brian Haines: The biggest catch of all on Minnesota’s Lindsey Lake

(Artwork by Liz Marcus)

To this day, I recall a catch from many years ago, right around the time I turned 13 and was being introduced to walleye fishing. Back then, my family would take an annual late-spring fishing trip to Lindsey Lake, a small backwater nestled in the woods near Backus, Minn.
While most northern-Minnesota walleye lakes are known to be deep, large, and with rocky bottoms and plenty of in-lake structure, Lindsey is but a small and shallow lake with a muddy bottom – the kind of lake more often associated with bullheads. Be that as it may, there was a time when Lindsey was a secret little walleye hot spot.
