One of the most beautiful and memorable ways to experience a winter night in Minnesota is to explore its scenic trails by candlelight. At the following special events, you can enjoy cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or hiking with trailside luminaries (candles or lanterns) lighting the way. On clear...

Here are the most current list of reports from around the lake. All of these resorts are wide open to wheelhouse traffic. Please keep in mind that with the warm conditions, the ice is moving. Cracks and ridges constantly change and move. Please stay in touch with your resort for updates on access and road systems.

Garrison Sports Bait & Tackle
We are open to all traffic again this weekend.
Plowed roads to the garrison reef, 3 mile, and the hourglass.
Off road travel is easy going.
PLEASE KEEP YOUR SPEED 10MPH OR UNDER!
Fresh Bait and Fresh beer in the store. See everyone this weekend!

Agate Bay Resort:
DRIVEWAYS FOR WHEELHOUSES
As in the past, we will plow driveways everywhere we can along our roads. When you arrive, select any driveway you like and pull in. They are available first come, first served. You can choose from shallow spots along Agate Bay Reef, mid-depth spots in gravel and silt to deeper spots in the mud in 28-35’.
We sell passes for the entire weekend and if you are leaving early, bring in your pass and we will refund the cost for unused days.
We are allowing most vehicles and wheelhouses now. Our roads are in great shape and nice and wide like always. Come up and see us this weekend and get in on some great fishing. The snow last week was a godsend. Our roads are all plowed and the snow smoothed out the roads and gave us banks to define the roads. It provided snow for banking houses and it insulated the ice so it does not expand and contract as much with temp swings! We have most of our private houses out and all of our rentals. The fishing last weekend was a little slower although we still got plenty of jumbo perch. We got a lot of smaller walleye and some slot fish and bigger ones.
We have rentals both in shallower water along Agate Bay Reef targeting primarily walleye and deeper in the mud in 28-30 feet primarily targeting perch. These are not mutually exclusive. You can catch walleyes out in the deeper water and perch in the shallower water.
We still have a couple of 6 hole houses and one Premier Ice Cabin available for this weekend. Give us a call at 320-684-2233 with any questions or to reserve a rental house.

Brandt's
All traffic will be allowed out as far as 4 Mile. This means tandems and1 tons…only requirement is to take it slow. Speed limit is 10MPH. If you can’t respect our request you may be asked to leave. Your safety and keeping our roads in great shape matters.
**PRIVATES- If you’re planning to come up and need a road plowed, please call the office. A 24-hour notice is requested. Office opens at 8am Sunday-Thursday, 7am on Friday & Saturday.
**Wheelhouses- You’re still able to venture off the road to locate a spot. If you discover you’d like an area plowed, please call the office once you find your spot and we’ll send somebody out to you.
**Rentals- we have a few openings left, call the office at 320-532-3674 to book yours!
**FISH ON! We look forward to seeing you!

North Mille Lacs Ice Fishing
Currently tracking at about 17" of ice. Roads have been plowed out to the flats. A bridge is located about .25 miles out.
Bigger walleyes have been a little tougher due to the bait fish in the lake, but night bite has been doing well. Afternoon perch bite has been very good and have also heard of quite a few Burbot being caught.
For more information visit us at northmillelacsicefishing.com or call 218-670-5012

Nitti's Hunters Point
Open to all traffic -Ice Roads are plowed and we are currently making wheelhouse spots for this weekend. There are a few bridges located on the Ice Roads. Please stop in bar to pick up your road pass and road map. Walleye bite has been a little slow but the perch bite is amazing. Make sure you move around and chase them!

Beachside Resort
NO RESTRICTIONS ALL THE WAY TO 5 MILE
We now have over 20" of ice, and we have lifted our restrictions.
With the lighter winds, and cooler temps, we were able to open things back up nice, and the roads are looking great!
We will be opening up some more new fresh territory this weekend!

Lyback's Ice Fishing
Yesterday, with the high barometer, the bite was quiet. A 35″ Northern was C/R in one of our rentals, but according to the reports I received, that was the highlight of the day. I’m looking forward to the weather changing and warming up, as fishing should pick up over the next couple of days.
Our weekend wheelhouse list is growing, so please call if you’d like to be added before it fills up. Permanents coming for the weekend will need to call 24 hours in advance for driveways, drilling, and other services.
Keep a Tight Line!
