## About

Somers Lake is a 151-acre lake near Maple Lake in Wright County, Minnesota. It reaches 21 feet at its deepest point, with an average depth of about 10 feet, and has roughly 2.1 miles of shoreline.

The DNR has stocking records for the lake, so check the stocking report for the most recent species and year classes. Special fishing regulations apply to crappie, largemouth bass, northern pike, and sunfish, and they override the statewide limits. The most recent fisheries survey on file dates to 2025.
