One of the best fishing spots for smallmouth is along Indian Point with its large boulders. Eddy's resort is owned by the band. It has a decent restaurant, bar, and nice rooms. They also provide free shuttles to the nearby casino if you are interested. Indian Point is about 3 miles out from Eddy's. I look at it from my picture window. It's a little over 2 miles straight out from my house by water. When it comes to walleyes, unfortunately MilleLacs has a one fish limit per person. The walleye must be between 21-23 inches I believe. Those were last winters walleye regs. Here is the current reg. Walleye: Beginning May 9, 2020 through June 30, 2020, all walleye must be immediately released. Beginning July 1, 2020 through July 31, 2020, walleye may not be targeted. Beginning August 1, 2020 through November 30, 2020, all walleye must be immediately released.

Oct is past prime time tho. They are flyfishing Primarily but will let customer do what ever they want. Its a float trip in Drift boats. Catch and release like most Flyfishing guides. Upper part of river is very wild, on a day float you might pass 1/2 dozen to dozen cabins only. Lower part of river is more developed, slower but has more larger fish. Lots of fish in the 15-18" range and occasional 20" ones. Largest Fish I have heard they have caught is 23". They are usually booked a year or so in advance but seeing as how your looking at past prime time you might get an opening.

How will the fishing be in early July? I hope to be in Freeport around then, virus allowing.
