A good friend of mine is going to fish up in MN next year. Any info you can provide will be appreciated.

any good info for selecting a good time of year, lake, and or guide info for walleye and panfish (Both Crappie and Bluegil) in Minnesota?

Mille Lacs has been excellent for walley in June. Crappie fishing is usually best here in May. They are still getting big crappies on the Res. on Red Lake, but the limit is so low.

the DNR has some links as well...

any rec on lake/guide combo?

They don't get any better than local legend "The Griz" on Mille Lacs.

if they're willing to go further north, lake of the woods has good fishing - and it's beautiful.

Northern MN is the way to go if you want to travel that far. The scenery and fishing is excellent. Lake Vermillion is well know for it's walleye fishery.
