Located on the south shore of Mille Lacs Lake.  We specialize in providing warm and comfortable ice fishing houses you can rent by the day or weekend.

Clark and Phyllis Lyback officially started this ice fishing business full time in 1954. Clark had his “Willys” Jeep and 5 small rental houses. He actually started  a couple years earlier, but was called back to Honeywell to work. Clark and a handful of others were some of the first to have rental houses and actually plow roads out on Mille Lacs in the late 40’s, early 50’s. After WWII, and the advent of FWD vehicles like Jeeps and other small military trucks it became a possibility. Clark’s son Eddy took over the duties on the ice in 1976 and eventually purchased the business in 1984. And has been running it since.  This year will be our 70th year on the ice.
