Best Fishing Times for Wolfe Park Lake
14-day solunar fishing calendar for Wolfe Park Lake, Hennepin County, Minnesota — sun and moon times calculated for lat 44.935, lon -93.344.
Wolfe Park Lake earns a C — middle-of-the-pack water quality, with one or two parameters dragging the average down from a stronger grade. Secchi readings are the weakest of the three parameters, suggesting suspended sediment or algal biomass dominates the optical signal.
A TSI in the eutrophic range signals a lake doing what nutrient-loaded waters do — supporting an active algal community at the cost of clear water. Wolfe Park Lake reaches 25 ft at its deepest point — typical for Minnesota mid-sized lakes, with seasonal stratification but limited cold-water refuge. At 3 acres, Wolfe Park Lake sits below the Minnesota median: a small water where shoreline activity has an outsized effect on water quality. Within Hennepin County's 104 graded waters, Wolfe Park Lake sits at rank 20, near the top 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 Wolfe Park Lake (lat 44.93°N), the longest day of the year is around June 21 with 15h 36m of daylight. The shortest is around December 21 with 8h 46m. Plan summer trips around the early-morning bite (around 5:30 AM) and the long evening window before sunset.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time to fish Wolfe Park Lake today?
Today's solunar calendar for Wolfe Park Lake (lat 44.93, lon -93.34) shows sunrise at 5:34 AM and sunset at 9:02 PM. The strongest fishing windows are around major solunar periods at 5:04 AM–7:04 AM and 5:26 PM–7:26 PM, plus the 30-90 minutes around dawn and dusk.
What does the moon phase mean for fishing Wolfe Park 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 Wolfe Park Lake is Last Quarter (58% illuminated).
When are the longest and shortest days at Wolfe Park Lake?
At Wolfe Park Lake's latitude (44.93°N), the longest day of the year is around June 21 with about 15h 36m of daylight. The shortest day is around December 21 with about 8h 46m 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.
