Mille Lacs Ice Fishing Report – Conditions & Updates

January 30th, 2026

Over the last 36 hours, the bite has been mostly early morning and late afternoon. The best depths have been 24-28 feet.  Shallow evening spots are also becoming more active. It’s time for some of the fishing to improve in the shallow water.  This weekend some anglers will be going deep and some going shallow.  There is alot of activity out in the Mud north of the Banana with Tullibees.  We still have a couple rentals open. and about 10 spot available on the wheelhouse list.  Call for info.

Ice conditions are good with approximately 22″ of ice. We have two roads to cross the pressure ridge. The cold weather has stabilized the ice, but with the warmup coming next week, that might change, so having an extra crossing option will be helpful just in case.

With the weather change coming it should be a good weekend!
