What Makes Fishing Reports on Lake Minnetonka, MN Unique???

Lake Minnetonka is Minnesota's 9th largest lake in the state.  It has 37 bays that "have names", 18 islands, over 125 miles of shoreline, and just over 14,500 acres in size.  Does that qualify as BIG?  We'd say so...


It's located around 16 miles to the SW of Minneapolis, MN.   That makes it easily reachable for a lot of interested anglers.  Set the Hook Guide Service, established in 2005, offers numerous opportunities to fish, year 'round.  Whether you need an ice fishing guide, ice house rental, or summer fishing guide on Lake Minnetonka...we got you covered!  We'd love to take your family or group out and show you a great day on the water (or ice).  And in the end, we'd love for you to be apart of our next Lake Minnetonka fishing report!  Give us a shout today and let's go fishing.
