Winter season is almost upon us, and Minnesota is known to have magnificent landscapes and an abundance of lakes. Approximately, Minnesota has more than 11,800 lakes, and when these waters freeze, they all become sweet spots for ice fishing. Here’s a short list I made of the favorite ice fishing spots here in Minnesota:
1. Upper Red Lake: This lake is known to be the largest natural freshwater lake in Minnesota and the 16th largest lake in the country. The lake has an upper and lower section, and the upper section is the place to go. You will encounter lots of high-quality walleyes and some northern pike and crappie in this lake.
2. Lake of the Woods: According to the Lake of the Woods Tourism website, this lake is recognized as the walleye capital of the world. Other fish you can find here are northern pike, sauger, Muskie, rock bass, largemouth bass, lake trout, and sturgeon. The lake has more than 45 resorts some of which offer ice fishing tours making it one of the top ice fishing destinations in Minnesota.
3. Mille Lacs Lake: This lake covers more than 132,000 acres making it the second largest lake in the state. The lake’s sweet spots are spread in both the southern and northern ends. This lake features multiple species which includes walleye, rock bass, northern pike, jumbo perch, Muskie, small mouth bass, and tullibee.
4. Gull lake: Gull lake is located in Cass County and Crow Wing County and every year during January, North America’s largest ice fishing event (the Ice Fishing Extravaganza) is held here. The lake is the largest and most popular fishing spot in the Brainerd Lake Region and is abundant with fish species like walleye, northern pike, and bluegill.
