Bad Medicine Resort & Campgrounds
On beautiful Bad Medicine Lake in Northern Minnesota

In loving Memory of Carolyn Tschudi
	IT BREAKS MY HEART A heart of gold stopped beating Hard working hands now rest. God broke my heart to prove to me He only takes the best. I think of you in silence I often speak your name All I have now are memories And your picture in a frame. A million times I’ve thought of you A million times I’ve cried. If love alone could have saved you You never would have died. It broke my heart to lose you But you didn’t go alone For a part of me went with you The day God took you home.

Bad Medicine is the state’s best known Rainbow Trout lake. Each year hundreds of fishermen make the trek in quest of the rainbow. The clear, cool, well-oxygenated waters make good Trout habitat. Each year good-sized rainbows up to 6 pounds are cheerfully reeled in. Walleye; The clear, cold waters so good for the Rainbow is also a good home for the Walleye, although most of the fishing pressure is for the Rainbow.

The West Side of the lake with its bars and sunken islands are good places to try. The whole Northern Bay is another good area for Walleye. The key is to fish at least fifteen to thirty feet down. Back trolling slowly with small hooks tipped with live bait seems to work best. The average Walleye is around two pounds, with seven to eight pounders an occasional prize. Northern Pike; are plentiful and also enjoy the cool waters. Bright colored flashy spoons and spinners trolled slowly, produce well. Northern average around four pounds, with larger fish up to fifteen pounds taken each year. Bad Medicine Resort is located on the East Side of beautiful Bad Medicine Lake.
