Ice Fishing

Book for Leech Lake

With the first snowdrop comes the end of summer and the beginning of fun ice fishing activities. Enjoy unforgettable ice fishing adventures on our Loon Lodge fishing retreat cabin on Leech Lake. The lake here in Walker MN is famous for its abundant supply of walleye and the amazing part is that the fish behaves the same as they do during the autumn, spring and the winter season.  There are dozens to be had in the basins of Walker Bay and around drops in Agency Bay. Walleye is terrific for ice fishing activities with the family as they are consistent all year long. You can get the best chance of catching one in the low light just before dawn and at dusk.  Sometimes, the walleye can be very active and you can get lucky as you can easily catch them with a tip up but a shortened rod that remains active in the hole is your best bet.  We recommend using medium-small jigs for catching them during winter but in less active periods a jigging spoon tipped with bits of minnow can net you an amazing catch. Our gorgeous fishing lodge/ retreat on Leech Lake is the perfect spot for you to rest in between ice fishing activities. Let Loon Lodge take you on your best ice fishing adventure.

Fresh Water Fishing

The sheer size of Leech Lake can be overwhelming to anyone but that is the beauty of it.  There is fish literally everywhere.  Our beautiful fishing  lodge/retreat on Leech Lake is the perfect spot for you and your family to begin your fresh water fishing adventures. Regardless if you prefer pulling cranks, casting, jigging or running lindys there is a huge variety of spots on the lake that can accommodate your preferred fishing style.  Since fish are always attracted to where the food is you can easily find them in the weeds, rocks or just along the shorelines where the wind is blowing.  Enjoy hunting for bass on our fishing retreat on Leech Lake. The lake features a good quality largemouth bass that you cannot find anywhere else. They can easily be found in shallow water and heavy cover. Perch is always fun to catch on our beautiful fishing retreat on Leech Lake. Large perch can be quite aggressive during the fall.
