Hey guys, planning on fishing the chain this Sunday. Any of you guys been out this past week? Also, do they have roads plowed on the chain? Sorry for all the questions, haven’t been there during the winter so I’m not sure how things work on the chain. FYI if you fish Mille Lacs, they finally plowed roads to the mud flats. I was just there last Saturday and they plowed it that morning.

Just DO NOT go out to the chain on the river access.

Thanks for the heads up. I hear the access point is a mile n half or so from the river access, is that correct? I’ve only be to the chain during the summers using the river access. Are there other access points during the winter?

Lots of cars out on horseshoe this past weekend. You’ll be fine driving a small car. The bite was hot! Good luck!

Thanks for the info!

Hey guys, new to this site and really enjoy all the information passed on here. It’s not like other sites where people put each other down and refuse to help each other. I was just wondering Any updates on the chain ice thickness with this extremely warm weather lately? Any cars out on it still? Wanting to take my 9 year old son out to try to get him on some catfish, since it’ll be his first time ever ice fishing so I figure I’d let him get on some good fighting catfish so that he doesn’t end up not liking ice fishing at all.
