Ice Fishing on Lake Winnibigoshish

When most anglers think of great Minnesota ice fishing their thoughts immediately turn to Lake Winnibigoshish.  And there's no better place to go for a Minnesota ice fishing trip than McArdle's Resort on Lake Winnie.

Lake Winnie ice fishing offers anglers the opportunity to capitalize on one of Minnesota's best fisheries.  Jumbo perch, northern pike and walleye are plentiful in Lake Winnibigoshish.

It is important to note that in support of its lake management plan for Lake Winnie, the DNR has enacted a special regulation on Winnie's walleye.  Anglers must immediately release any walleye measuring between 17" and 26" and may be in possession of only one walleye over 26." Anglers may still legally fish for jumbo perch, crappie and panfish through ice out.
