Cast a Line in Alexandria: Why Anglers Love Fishing Near RV There Yet

Explore some of Minnesota’s most rewarding lakes — just minutes from your campsite.

If you’re someone who packs a fishing rod right alongside your camping gear, you’re in luck. RV There Yet is located in the heart of Minnesota lake country, where anglers of all experience levels can enjoy world-class fishing. With more than 300 lakes in Douglas County — including some of the best right here in Alexandria — this region offers year-round opportunities to hook into something special.

Fishing Opportunities Just Minutes from Camp

Whether you’re after walleye, northern pike, bass, crappie, or sunfish, Alexandria’s lakes are stocked and ready. Some of the most popular spots are just a short drive — or even a walk — from RV There Yet.

Here are a few local favorites:

Lake Le Homme Dieu – Known for walleye, smallmouth bass, and great evening fishing
Lake Carlos – A deep, clear lake with strong northern pike and panfish populations
Lake Darling – Excellent for largemouth bass and family-friendly dock fishing
Geneva Lake – A solid early-season crappie spot close to town
Lake Victoria – Calm and quiet, perfect for canoe or kayak fishing

If you have a boat, you’ll find well-maintained public launches on most major lakes. No boat? No problem — many spots are fishable from shore, piers, or the dock.

What’s Biting and When

The fishing season around Alexandria is long and generous. Here’s what you can expect:

Spring – Walleye opener is a big deal in Minnesota. May and early June are prime times to catch trophy fish.
Summer – Great for bass and panfish. Early mornings and evenings bring the best luck.
Fall – Walleye and northern pike get more active again as waters cool. Fewer boats, more bites.
Winter – Ice fishing is a local favorite. Drop a line through the ice and reel in crappie, bluegill, or perch.

Don’t forget your Minnesota fishing license — you can purchase one online or at several local bait shops and gas stations.
