Mille Lacs Reality show?

Has anyone heard anything further about the reality tv show that was being shot last year on Mille Lacs? Did the show get dropped? Havent heard anything since last year.

Show never took off. Searched youtube for clips – nothing. Heard the show was going to be called “Ice Holes”. Don’t think the producers found what they were looking for.

The producers must have thought that ice fishing on Mille Lacs was just like the Grumpy Old Man movie. Probably didn’t get the drama they were looking for

I thought reality crap television was mostly staged or set up. Like Tickle really runs moonshine? And they show it on TV but the feds never come in and crack the producers of the show? Its all staged, they probably couldn’t find good enough character actors…

The story I heard is they wanted similar competition between resorts as they have between boats on Deadliest Catch. Problem is there is none and they couldn’t stage it.

I thought originally, they wanted to film the recovery of vehicles and such from under the ice, but there was not enough footage for that, to even make 1 show. So then they were gonna go to the perch tourneys and film the drunks…er I mean characters that show up there… but again, they missed the tourneys and didn’t film… so then they set-up at a resort on the eastside and did some filming of some people who really weren’t star material, that didn’t amount to anything anyone would want to watch. So then they tried the resort wars approach, but were finding out, the resorts pretty much work together and get along… so they took their cameras and are following a Kardashian around, hoping one of them will make some moonshine…

I don’t know if the it’s the same production company, but a local icon here on Winnebago has been tapped for a pilot on vehicle recovery.
