Fishing Report

Look no further than Terry’s Boat Harbor for your Lake Mille Lacs Fishing and Ice Report. We provide update throughout the year.

1/02/2023 Ice conditions did not change this week we have a lot of areas that have 10 inches of the good black ice. What is troubling is that we found several areas where there is only 6 inches of the good black ice. The ice is not thick enough for safe truck travel in fact we had reports of several trucks going through the ice this weekend. ATV and snowmobiles have been going out in the bays and out to the mud flats. Walleye fishing has been good in the bays as well as the mud flats. Some nice perch are also being caught on the mud flats.

12/17/2022 Mille Lacs is in tough shape after the winter storm. We now have 8 inches of ice with 3 to 4 inches of water on top of the ice and 12 inches of snow on top of that. A ATV tried to go out but iced up so bad they had to come back in. We now need 20 plus below weather for a extended period of time if the ice is going to get thicker.

Ice report 12/04/2022 The North West end of the lake froze this past Thursday there was still a small area of open water yesterday that has frozen overnight. So this end of the lake the ice is thin and not safe to go on. There are people fishing on the South end Bays Isle, Wahkon and Cove where they have considerably more ice. I went through Isle on Friday and there were some ATV’S out on the ice in the bay. Be safe check with nearby resorts on the side of the lake where you want to go fishing.

7/13/2022 Walleye fishing and the use of live bait will once again be allowed this coming Saturday July 16th. The anglers and businesses really got the shaft this year with the 15 day bait and walleye closure. They purposely drive people away from the lake with this regulation. This year there harvest and mortality numbers were about one third of what they expected by the end of June but they implemented the 15 day no bait and walleye closure anyway. If they do not want people fishing for walleyes for 15 days fine then make the mud flats off limits that is where the majority of them are this time of the year. Smallmouth bass are being caught on the rock points and reefs in 5 to 19 feet of water. Northern pike and Muskie fishing has been slow some are being caught in the bays.

2/25/2022 After being battered by high winds and a lot of snow we were able to open up some of our roads for this weekend. We have roads open with spots plowed for wheel houses at Curly’s flat, St. Albans bay rock pile, Byrons rocks and Seguchie point. Fishing in these areas has been as good as anywhere on the lake. Walleye action continues to be slow and a few Jumbo perch and Northern Pike are also being caught.
