Mille Lacs Ice Fishing Report – Conditions & Updates

January 11th, 2026

From what I heard, most reports said the best fishing was on Friday and Friday night. Saturday, when the wind switched NW, it slowed down except for some action between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm. Overnight and this morning were slow.  Almost everyone had some action at some point.

This week will be spent getting ready for the weekend, with houses in new spots, some new roads, and cleaning up the original ones during this warm spell over the next couple of days.

We will keep our combined weight of 12,000 lb. for trucks and wheelhouses over the next few days. When we get some colder weather, and we find a consistent 20″ on the roads, we will consider increasing it.

  A few pics of Saturday. Smallmouth was C/R.
