Mid july should be good. As I have said before. Lake Minnetonka and Mille Lacs are a couple of the most fisher friendly lakes there are. The DNR does a great job of marking all the great fishing spots. They try and trick you a little by having these bouys say "HAZZARD" on the side of them. These bouys mark the rock piles so that people do not hurt thier boats on them. But they are also the great fishing spots. The South/East side of the lake seems to produce the most spots like this.

If I were staying up there.. Which I do. Appledorns.. nuff said. They have some great camping spots and Paul the manager there will treat you right!
