Ice Fishing Trips in Minnesota

Ice Fishing Trips in Minnesota
Minnesota has many places to go ice fishing. Because the winter weather is so cold and lakes freeze, many resorts and businesses offer ice fishing trips for anglers who want to fish year-round. Ice fishing offers the angler the chance to catch perch, walleye and pike. Most areas or cities that have lakes offer ice fishing trips or vacations during the winter and have lodging facilities.

McArdles Resort for Ice Fishing

McArdles Resort in Bena has ice fishing trips available on Lake Winnibigoshish (Winnie). It offers heated fish house rentals with eight fishing holes per house. The houses have chairs, tables and fishing poles. They also provide fish cleaning and plowed roads to get you safely to your fishing adventure. This resort has cabins to lodge in after you finish your day. McArdles has a lodge that is equipped with satellite television, a snack bar, video games, tackle and bait.
