Mille Lacs Lake Ice Fishing
There is a Giant Walleye Statue that sits on the Garrison Park just off the U.S. Route 169. It
isn’t there by happenstance though. It serves to point out to visitors that Mille Lacs Lake is also called the
Walleye Lake. Likewise itt serves as a promise to visitors that there is good ice fishing here in Mille Lacs
Lake.
Mille Lacs Lake is blessed with many things. And one is its size comparative to its depth.
Although a fairly large lake at 207 square miles, Mille Lacs Lake is relatively shallow all through out. The
maximum depth is at 42 feet but that is only on the dead center. At most it is 20 to 38 feet in depth. That makes
its thermo cline phenomenon, though occurring but rather slapdash and light.
This rare thermo cline phenomenon of Mille Lacs Lake allows fishes to enjoy the entire
oxygenated lake. That’s why even in the coldest winter, the fishes of Mille Lacs Lake are still found to be
nibbling and biting intensely making Mille Lacs Lake Ice Fishing as the most rewarding ice fishing
spot in the United States.
Due to its shallow depths, Mille Lacs Lake Ice Fishing becomes available as early as mid
November. Mille Lacs Lake freezes over completely, affording ice at 2 to 4 feet in thickness. So that means it can
facilitates not only a small group of ice fishermen, it can also facilitate any long Mille Lacs Lake Ice Fishing
expedition. There are lots of fish house rentals near the Mille Lacs Lake vicinity.
You can however arrange a Mille Lacs Lake ice fishing trip with the numerous trip dealers in
Minnesota. Here are some of them.
