Mac's Twin Bay on Lake Mille Lacs offering ice fishing, camping, marina and guide service.
We have roads plowed to A and B and past Hawkbill on Roads C – I . Up to half ton vehicles to rental or private houses and wheelhouses with seasonal contract only, not weekend wheel houses yet.
Our rentals continue to do well with great fishing reports. Spear house this morning kept 3 and saw 7 more, all in a nice warm house away from that wind! We have spear houses, day houses and sleeper houses (other than 14 holers) out and ready.
We can put out private houses up to 12’x24′ and we do have snow to bank now. Up to 1/2 tons vehicles only. Wheeled houses with seasonal contract are ok, too.
Good reports coming in. All of the four rentals out on Roads A and B last night caught walleyes. The bite is looking good! Yesterday Eric had 5 walleyes between 22-24 from 7:30 -8:00 am and a total of 7 for the morning. That’s one way to get a 16 year old up early!
We have roads plowed to A and B and marked past Hawkbill on Roads C – I . No vehicle traffic yet, only 4-wheelers, snowmobiles and side by sides. Still waiting to see 12″ of good ice consistently before we change that.
We have spear houses, day houses and sleeper houses (other than 14 holers) out and ready.
We can put out private houses up to 10’x20′, but note two things: there is no banking snow, so you’ll have to bring up hole liners. Second, no driving (see above).
Happy New Year everyone!
Mostly 8-9″ in the bay. Marking roads today and flooding staging area. We don’t expect to have vehicles out this weekend but things are looking good. Those who have been out have caught a few nice Walleyes and seeing some Northerns in the spear houses.
We will update you on ice status and fishing reports when they become available so stay tuned.
Welcome to the weekend! All of our roads are open and we are allowing wheel houses. Have some rentals open, too.

Fishing going well on Hennepin and gravel
Roads are fine
Fishing: Reports around the lake continue to be great. Nice numbers of smaller walleye with a few big ones mixed in. Last weekend, rental houses had anywhere from 7 – 20+ walleyes. The deep side of Hennepin was doing well last weekend, and the gravel bars continue to produce.
During prime time (dawn/dusk), fish on the tops of the rock piles, then the bottom edges during the day. Depth of w
ater depends on which hump you are on – 20-25 on top and down to 33 off the bottom edge. Still seeing northerns in the bay on tips ups and spearing. Chilly this weekend, so watch for cracks on the road, mainly in the mornings.
We have openings for sleepers, day houses and spear houses. Call and take advantage of our weekend and weekday specials.
Roads: ALL our usual roads are plowed.
Vehicle Traffic: all good; wheel houses welcome
Rental houses all sizes available
General Ice conditions: Roads have about 20†of ice on the roads. Off the roads, ice varies from 15†– 22.â€
