How about the Alexandria area?Never been there before.Bought a ATV last year and thought I’d go ice fish Minnesota for the first time.Used to fishing Wisconsin and want to explore.Probably going by myself, so getting a cheap motel would do.
Try otter tail county over a 1000 lakes to fish 3 hours NW of the cities. I live here and I could show ya around if ya like.
My group doesn't have enough equipment for us to go out on our own. Some of the guys barely even have their own rod/reel. Half the group is really only going to have time away with their buds. So, we would need a guide if we went to Alexandria or Willmar. I have been searching around, but can't really seem to find many in that area. I did see that Brainerd is a little more than 8 hours too. Tons of options, I suppose.
