Regulations


Guest

Recommended Posts

Help!!! My first time taking the boys up this weekend. I would greatly appreciate if someone can go over the fishing regulations with me on Mille Lacs. Fish sizes we can keep? Sizes we must release? What species we can keep? Which species we can not?

What are the fishing hours in the lake?

First timer!!!

Thanks.

You can keep 4 walleye up to 17". 1 walleye over 28". The time restrictions are off now. Try 7 mile in 36' to 26' with a leech or crawler. Pink or red gamakatsu hooks. 9' leader and 1/2 oz bottom bouncer. Slow your troll so your line is almost verticle and remember that you are in mud,,,, dont drag the bottom!

If you choose to fish smallmouth , everything under 21" has to be released. You are allowed 1 trophy fish over 21". This is becoming an excellent alternative to walleyes. Look to the shallow reefs which are usually marked or even the shore lines and docks. If the fish are not relating to the tops of the reef , try the deep edges with leeches or crawlers.

      Question for this knowledgeable group   I've noticed over the past two weeks at the lake that in certain areas there seems to be a ton of black "duck-like" floaters that seem to congregate by tons and stir up the water and then move to another area close by, stir up the water again and move again. I've seen them recently in Greenwood Bay and around Fectos.   Are these cormorants? Are they stirring up the water by fishing?   Thanks

      Followed the advice I posted, slip bobbers w rainbows and crawlers in big bay on a dozen humps topping out at 6 to 12'. Caught a few smalles and a couple 12" walleyes. So not very successful but maybe didn't hit the right humps or lake was too calm or wrong time of day - 7:30 11 am. That's why they call it fishin'

      I may have to take you up on that. I've been moving for a month and don't even have my boat in the lake yet!

      Walleye Report:  Just spent a week on the lake (East end).  The fishing was as hot as the weather with many, many 14-25" walleyes.   Surface Temps: Consistently 70-72 with the recent hot weather.  Swimming was comfortable the past three days.  Depths:  All caught in less than 10 FOW Techniques: Lures - Plastics and jerkbaits.  We bought two dozen leeches but never opened them.  I do regret not watching a bobber dip below the surface.   Tactics: Cast and retrieve lures in sandy bays, over main lake/secondary rocky points, across rocky flats, between sandy flats, and throughout silt/mud bays with shallow weeds.  A little wind and clouds helped but was not always necessary.  And we had lots of random fish.    Advice:  Get out there and fish.  These patterns should hold for the next week-two.  The fish are aggressively feeding in the shallows where they are finding crawfish, shiners, etc.  A fast moving bait is getting hammered.  I literally can't tell you how many times I saw fish INHALE our presentations at the boat.   The population is healthy.  Catch and keep a few and let a bunch of them go.     Good luck.

      Lol, if they had enough enforcement in the first place. They may catch them the rest of the season without the tag!
