          Big Sandy Lake Live!

These fish are found in Big Sandy Lake and/or Aitkin Lake and/or the River Bottoms.

There are three rivers that empty into Big Sandy which are navigable so you can both river and lake fish. Big Sandy is noted for walleye, northern, and crappie. On the river bottoms  bullheads can be found. There is a dam at the north end that empties into the Mississippi River, a nice ride by boat, with interesting culture. You can also go by boat into Aitkin Lake and find sunfish.
