Backup lake in case Mille Lacs is to rough

[John Alan]

I plan to be on Mille Lacs the week after opener (Walleye). Any recommendations on additional lakes within the Onamia,MN area in case Mille Lacs is to rough (weather)?

have you tryed little whitefish lake alot of people do when the big lake is too rough or borden

[ozzie]

or farm island just north of the big lake

The opposite end of Mille lacs from the wind... We have trailered around to get into a more managable wind. Not perfect but at least you can keep fishing.

To rough?????Go BIG or stay home.(Just kidding!)On the north side of the pond you'll find Clear,Dam (just to name a few)with ample fish in them.Aitkin county is full of Lakes within 1 hour of Mille Lacs!c63

Jeepers it is never to rough on the big pond to fish.. Hell I have been out there in huge rollers in a 14ft lund runabout with a 9.9. it is just waves, they are just bigger haha!

[chris63]

Any wind over 25 to 30 mph and it can make fishing a lot less enjoyable.(Not impossible)c63

How about Round Lake or Big Pine, near Myr Mar. Do these lakes hold any walleyes? Or, how about pan fish?
