Minnesota Winter Activities
Spear Fishing and Ice Fishing on Steamboat Bay!
In Minnesota, fishing does not stop when the ice covers the lake. That is when the next season begins!
Experience one of Minnesota’s favorite winter fishing traditions with spear fishing on beautiful Steamboat Bay, located on Leech Lake, with comfortable resort lodging and convenient spear house rentals available right from our shoreline.
Book a cozy cabin for your next Leech Lake ice fishing getaway, bring your own portable fish house or shack, or rent one of our spear houses and enjoy premier access to winter fishing on Steamboat Bay.
Spear House Rentals for the 2026/2027 Ice Fishing Season
We have 8 spear houses available for the 2026/2027 winter season. When you arrive at our Leech Lake resort, the heat will be on, the spear hole will be cleaned, and your house will be ready for spearing and angling.
Included with your rental: 2 decoy lines, skimmer, chair, and measuring tape.
What to bring: Please bring your fishing license, spear, fake or live decoys, and a bucket for any fish you keep.
Please Help Keep the Ice Clean
Always take your trash with you when you leave. Do not throw anything into the spear holes unless it can be retrieved before you go.
