 Royal
has been guiding fisherman on Mille Lacs Lake for 40 some
years. The department of fisheries started stocking Mille Lacs
lake with Muskies in the 1970's. Since then Mille Lacs Lake
produces plenty of trophy Muskies and Royal knows just where
to find them. Of course Royal will fish for any species on
Mille Lacs Lake and a guided fishing trip can be arranged
anytime of the year.Mille Lacs is one of
the best Muskie lakes in Minnesota. Many anglers expect the
next state record to come from Mille Lacs Lake. My largest
Muskie in 2003 was 50 1/2 inches. This fish was released! I've
never had anyone keep a Muskie. Fiberglass reproductions are
done so life like it is not necessary to take fish home.
Muskies from Mille Lacs generally come from weed beds. In
fall fishing rocks can be very effective. there are tullibees
in Mille Lacs and as a result these fish are heavy, thick and
deep bodied fish. My favorite lures are bucktails and surface
lures. Jerk baits and crank baits are also effective and very
popular. All of my fishing is casting.
Occasionally I troll. I supply all rods, reels, and lures.
Although some people like to use their own equipment.
Mille Lacs is also home to the best sized northerns in our
area. Many of my clients look at this as a bonus fish that
hits many of our most popular muskie lures. My largest ever
from Mille Lacs is 22 1/2 pounds and 42 1/2 inches. Northerns
like muskies should be released as this is definitely a trophy
pike water. |
