Catch a walleye, bass, northern pike, or muskie

Whether you’re after walleye, bass, muskie, northern pike, or jumbo perch, a network of Mille Lacs guide service captains around the lake work together to advise where the fish are biting and what they’re biting on. The best part is, launch captains do the dirty work, baiting hooks and cleaning fish so you don’t have to!

 

Lake Mille Lacs launch fishing is offered at all times of day, with morning, afternoon, and evening departures and half-day, full-day, and night options. Single-group charters are also available, as well as walk-on launch trips for singles, couples, families, and other groups.
