Feeling stressed leading up to what is supposed to be a fun and exciting fishing weekend adventure? We’ve all been there, especially when trying to navigate to a new spot, with fish!  
 

It’s still called fishing and not catching; however, we strongly suggest reaching out to a local guide or resort to assist in your trip. Many offer safe access, plowed roads and spots “near” the fish.  

If you’re headed to the Mille Lacs area, give Brad Hawthorne with Hawthorne’s Guide Service, or Tony Roach with Roach’s Guide service a call. These guys know fishing!  

Following these tips is a good step towards a stress-free and successful weekend!  
 

As always, no ice is safe ice, and you should always travel under your own ice safety protocols.
