January 11, 2017 Report
Update for the weekend. We are cleaning up after the storm. We saw a lot of snow and wind. Fishing reports continue to be good.
We won’t be plowing out to Hennepin Island or the gravel before the weekend.
Please call if you plan to be up over the weekend so we can plow and check into the office before going onto the lake.
We do have a few rentals available and if you haven’t heard, the Mille Lacs bite is HOT this year! Come on up.
Patiently Awaiting Ice!
We will update you on ice status and fishing reports when they become available so stay tuned.
Our roads are open. Wheeled houses ok, too.
Welcome to the weekend! All of our roads are open and we are allowing wheel houses. Have some rentals open, too.
Fishing is great this year!

Fishing going well on Hennepin and gravel
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 water 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.
