On the LakeGrade scale Ge-Be-on-Equat Lake grades a B, with clarity at 10.0 ft and phosphorus readings still being added placing it above the Minnesota median. The three sub-grades — clarity, phosphorus, and chlorophyll-a — track close together, so no single parameter is dragging the average.
Mesotrophic conditions dominate at Ge-Be-on-Equat Lake: enough nutrients for a healthy fishery, not so much that algal blooms become a chronic problem. Ge-Be-on-Equat Lake is unusually deep for Minnesota at 55 ft, which buffers the lake against summer warming and helps the deep water stay oxygenated. Ge-Be-on-Equat Lake covers 660 acres alongside 13.0 miles of shoreline — a mid-sized water that supports a working fishery without being so large that conditions diverge between basins. Ge-Be-on-Equat Lake ranks 85 of 215 in St. Louis County — solidly in the upper half of the local distribution.

How to Read This Calendar
Major periods (≈2 hours) are centered on lunar transit (when the moon is highest in the sky) and lunar opposition (when the moon is directly underfoot). These are typically the strongest feeding windows.
Minor periods (≈1 hour) are centered on moonrise and moonset. They're secondary windows that often produce well — especially when they coincide with sunrise or sunset.
Day rating combines moon phase (peak near new and full moons, when lunar gravity is strongest) with the overlap of major periods and the dawn/dusk twilight. A 4–5 star day stacks all three.
At Ge-Be-on-Equat Lake (lat 48.28°N), the longest day of the year is around June 21 with 16h 5m of daylight. The shortest is around December 21 with 8h 20m. Plan summer trips around the early-morning bite (as early as 5:00 AM) and the long evening window before sunset.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time to fish Ge-Be-on-Equat Lake today?
Today's solunar calendar for Ge-Be-on-Equat Lake (lat 48.28, lon -92.11) shows sunrise at 5:15 AM and sunset at 9:11 PM. The strongest fishing windows are around major solunar periods at 4:59 AM–6:59 AM and 5:21 PM–7:21 PM, plus the 30-90 minutes around dawn and dusk.
What does the moon phase mean for fishing Ge-Be-on-Equat Lake?
Solunar theory holds that fish activity peaks during major periods (when the moon is overhead or directly underfoot) and minor periods (moonrise and moonset). Fish feeding tends to intensify during the days surrounding the new moon and full moon, when lunar gravity is strongest. Today's moon at Ge-Be-on-Equat Lake is Last Quarter (58% illuminated).
When are the longest and shortest days at Ge-Be-on-Equat Lake?
At Ge-Be-on-Equat Lake's latitude (48.28°N), the longest day of the year is around June 21 with about 16h 5m of daylight. The shortest day is around December 21 with about 8h 20m of daylight. Sunrise and sunset shift by roughly 6 hours between solstices.
Are major or minor solunar periods more important?
Major periods (about 2 hours, centered on lunar transit and lunar opposition) are generally considered the strongest feeding windows. Minor periods (about 1 hour, centered on moonrise and moonset) are secondary but still productive — especially when they overlap with sunrise or sunset.
