Mille Lacs Fishing Report Lybacks

The weather be pretty nice out there this week and going thru next weekend. People should come up and enjoy the fishing this last week for the Walleyes. Seeing what is coming this summer with the low harvest quota set by DNR and Bands at ‘their’ Technical board, and the projected bite…. Who knows what is going to happen. The protocols of ‘treaty management’ must be thrown out and a better way must be found. The idea of disturbing the spawning grounds of Walleyes in the Spring just because you may be able to by some treaty does not mean it’s good for the resource for starters…look at what it did to give to the Mille Lacs Walleyes the last fifteen years…nothing but problems and negativity for all….

Northern activity is still decent on Mille Lacs – The effort is split evenly between spearers and anglers, with both having some pretty good days. Suckers or big shiners have been the ticket for your best northern action. Look to Cove Bay and Wahkon Bay 1st in 7-11 feet. The walleye bite was good so far – Walleye action is best early in the morning around dawn and again around sunset. Pull out all the early season plans and hang on… this is the ‘early ice bite’ we have been waiting for since fall. Jigging Raps and ‘Darters’ tipped with a part of a fathead have turned some fish when they are violent, however a small shiner on a glow hook works best when they are fussy. (millelacs.com)

Walleyes continued to show up this week and weekend, typically by this late in the season it becomes tough. Hmmmm must be quite some swimming around. Reports from the deeper water seem to hold the bigger walleyes, good numbers of 11″-16″ walleyes continue to show up nearly everywhere. It is been on of the best winters I have seen for walleyes, when you are not trying. (Check it out)

, a 200-square-mile lake about two hours north of Minneapolis. Denny is a 52-year-old Minnesota native, a mail carrier who was ice fishing since he was 4 years old. He remembers the 1st occasion because he stepped into the hole and had to wear his mother’s figure skate on his wet foot the rest of the day. We drove in Denny’s van to the door of the fish house, which was located on Mille Lacs, about two miles from the shore. As his tires touched the frozen lake he told me to unbuckle my seatbelt. we are not going through the ice, however my dad generally said if you do, you do not want your seatbelt on.

Saturday morning I hit the Chain and had to work hard, however ended up catching 30-40 gills most were >7 and about a dozen crappies also up to 13 . Small 3-4mm tungsten jigs tipped with 2 or 3 euro larvae worked best everything was released . Then I jumped over to one of my favorite spots on Koronis for the evening walleye bite and only caught one 17 er, however also managed to land four really nice smallies : . (fishingminnesota.com)

The walleye season is passed. The few anglers that are left on ‘the big pond’ and I do mean few, are usually hunting the elusive jumbo perch. On Saturday I headed out with a small party of two to wrangle up this supposedly nonexistent species. We entered the south end of lake through Lybacks Resort, knowing the challenges that could possibly lie ahead. The south end is covered with 8-12 inches of snow also as hard filled drifts. Believe it or not we encountered in-weather weather again also. As the good mist turned to rain, my fishing partner and I continued to drill and drill. As I can not not stress enough on this challenging as of late perch lake, keep on drilling. (imnfishing.com)

Resorts like Lyback’s plow roads for miles onto the lake, maintaining a transportation system that mirrors a small metropolis atop ice some number of feet thick. Like toll booth holders, they charge fees to fish house holders who enter the roads from the resort properties. The frozen-lake communities are speckled with houses — ranging from hand-built bunkhouses to luxury RVs — that are owned by the resorts and rented to the public. Renters sleep in the fish houses, which are equipped with heat, a stove, some form of a bathroom and typically wired for electricity from a generator. (twincities.com)

The DNR’s goal is to have two of the new Advisory board members watch the meetings between biologists from the DNR and from close American Indian bands who fish on the lake. The meetings of the ‘Technical board’ help find out a scientific consensus on what fishing levels are safe for the in general health of Mille Lacs fish population. But, the DNR has faced resistance from the tribes, Landwehr said. (northlandoutdoors.com)
