Ice Report

Expect the first ice report in January of 2026

Ice fishing doesn’t officially kick off on Mille Lacs until the ice is safe—plain and simple. We keep a close eye on conditions all winter long, because nobody wants to be out there before Mother Nature says it’s ready. Generally, you can expect things to firm up enough for our fish houses in early January, but every year is a little different.

We’ll update this page with the latest ice depths and conditions as the season gets going, so you know exactly when it’s time to pack up your gear and head north. Until then, keep your augers sharp and your coffee hot—winter’s just getting started.
