History & Status of the Fishery
Belle Taine is located in south-central Hubbard County adjacent to the town of Nevis. Belle Taine has a surface area of 1,497 acres and a maximum depth of 56 feet. A city owned public access is located on the east shore of the lake. Access is also available by small craft from Shallow Lake which lies to the north of Belle Taine. Belle Taine is a very popular lake for fishing and water recreation. Belle Taine provides angling opportunities for Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Panfish, Walleye, and Northern Pike.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has classified Minnesota's lakes into 43 different types based on physical, chemical, and other characteristics. Belle Taine is in class 25. Class 25 lakes are generally deep, very clear, have hard water, and are irregularly shaped. Other class 25 lakes in the Park Rapids management include: Bad Axe, Big Mantrap, Dead (Upper Ojibway), Eagle, Island, Little Mantrap, Little Sand, Spider, Straight, Third Crow Wing, Two Inlets, and West Crooked.
Belle Taine supports an abundant Largemouth Bass population and moderate numbers of Smallmouth Bass. Spring electrofishing sampling was not conducted in 2021 due to equipment issues, but past surveys have sampled good numbers and sizes of Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass. Belle Taine has good water quality, bottom substrate, and submerged and emergent vegetation that will ensure healthy Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass populations.
Belle Taine supports a good Black Crappie population and angling for them is popular year around. Anglers will find good numbers of Black Crappie in the 9-12 inch size range. Belle Taine also provides good fishing for Bluegill and Pumpkinseed; however, the size of fish runs small (6-7 inch size range).
Walleye abundance was down from recent surveys, but still within the range for this lake class. A strong year class of 8 to 11 inch Walleye were sampled and should provide good angling in future years. Walleye sampled had an average length of 16.4 inches with fish measuring up to 26.9 inches. Yellow Perch, an important forage species for Walleye were sampled in low numbers.
Northern Pike abundance was up and were sampled in the highest recorded number for all surveys on Belle Taine. Northern Pike numbers in past surveys have generally fluctuated in moderate numbers for this lake class. Anglers will find the Northern Pike population dominated by small, "hammer handle" pike. Northern Pike sampled had an average length of 20.3 inches, weighed 1.8 pounds, and measuring up to 32.6 inches.
Currently, no Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) have been identified in Belle Taine. To avoid spreading AIS, lake users are required to remove all aquatic plants or animals from their watercraft and drain all water from their boat before leaving the access.
