People are catching plenty of fish so far this weekend. Here are a few photos of what has been caught so far.
**FISHING REPORT**
People have been doing good with catching Walleye in the deeper water during the day (18-20 ft) and shallower at night (9-14 ft). The Perch are everywhere in the bay and because of that so are the Northern. However, there have been more reports of Northen being caught by Mulvey Island (Goat Island).
We have pulled out our 3 Ice Castles and they are now available for rent!
We also have 3 cabins available for rent for just $99 per night. Book online now to reserve your stay!

General Rules:
- Check is at 11:00 AM.
- Check out is 10:00 AM. If you want a late check out than you will need to ask in advance. Many times we will have people checking into the same house at 11 AM, which only gives us 1 hour to turn the house. So late checkouts need to be verified in advance.
- If you litter down a hole, under the fish house, or around your house, we will charge a $100 fee and we may report you to the DNR. We love Mille Lacs Lake and show it great respect and we expect the same of our customers. (DNR has a littering fine of $300)
- If you soil the banking around the fish house with anything, you will be charged up to $50 to re-bank or $100 to move the house. We want every customer to have a fresh looking area when they arrive so please help us out. If we have to move the house because the area is soiled than you will be charged for it,
- You must adhere to our speed limit which is 10-15 mph. Driving fast on the lake creates waves below the surface and safety concerns for you and others. Failing to abide by the speed limits will result in early termination with no refunds.
