Fishing Reports
Not sure where the fish are biting? In the spring, sand breaks such as those on the north side hold large schools of walleyes. Lake Mille Lacs has many rock points and reefs, which can be productive any time of year. Anglers have also found walleye on the mud flats on opening weekend. Right after spawning, the big females head out to these flats until late August when the fish head back to shore to the rocks and sand breaks again.
