    For immediate release

    Night Ban has been lifted!!!!!!

    Greetings Mille Lacs Fishery Input Group Members,

    After reviewing catch data for the season thru June 30, we determined that the night closure would no longer be needed for the remainder of the season. There will be a general news release today (see below), but I wanted to be sure you all were the first to know about this.

    Specifically, the closure will be lifted on Monday, July 21st, at 10pm. Just to clarify, you can fish at night, beginning at 10pm on the 21st, but not before 6 am on that particular day.

    Take care, Rick

    Thanks for the update, Bobber. Hopefully this has a positive impact on the resorts and guides working up there this summer.

    Just knowing we’ll get a chance to fish for eyes under the full moons this fall makes me happy. FISH ON!

    I rarely fish after darn, almost never, but it sure will be nice when I am up in the morning at 5am drinking coffee and just waiting to leave the dock at 6am.

    Man that fishery recovered fast! I can’t wait to have a fish fry! Did the DNR stock a bunch of 17″ fish?

    We Just bought a lake home on the north end and the summers been a tough go. Like James said, now we can at least look forward to the fall full moon bite and it won’t have to be an end at 9:45 and run to the ramp event!
