In the winter, whole neighborhoods of fish houses sprout up on area lakes, but none is more popular, perhaps, than Mille Lacs Lake.
My friend, Alex Peterson, flew over a small portion of the lake yesterday and provided an example of how busy it is in January. He says there may be over 5,000 houses on the lake.
Bob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
