Harriet Lake lies E. of Elk River and Grave Lake; in the Elk River watershed. It covers surface area not recorded.

For an angler judging whether the fishing is worth the drive, the stocking record is the fishing report. Harriet Lake is a put-and-take angling fishery, stocked with catchable game fish: 5 recorded releases totalling 13,000 fish (Westslope (Yellowstone) Cutthroat Trout), last stocked 2002-10-02.

Stocking appears to have wound down after 2002. Confirm whether it is still topped up or now fishes as a residual, wild population. The chart below shows the full release history.

Harriet Lake fishes as a put-grow stillwater: work chironomids under an indicator over the shoals in spring, then leech and attractor retrieves along the drop-offs as the shallows warm. The stocking record below is the truest read on the size and cohort of fish you will find.
