A Lake Winnie Fishing Resort With a View Worth Staying For
High Banks Resort sits on the northeast side of Lake Winnibigoshish in the Chippewa National Forest, where the elevated shoreline opens toward wide western sunsets. The property has served lake visitors for roughly ninety-five years and remains strongly connected to fishing in every season. Twelve lake-view cabins give guests a comfortable base without losing the character of a traditional Winnie resort.
The lodge includes a restaurant and cocktail bar, while the property also offers camping, marina services, boat rentals and a splash patio with a playground. During winter, sleeper fish houses extend the resort’s fishing focus onto the ice. Current cabins combine the lake setting with practical modern comforts, making High Banks more than a bare-bones fishing camp.
Big-Water Conditions Decide the Smartest Start
High Banks places anglers directly on Lake Winnie, but the lake’s size makes wind and fish location important. A northeast-shore launch can be ideal for one pattern and inefficient for another. The group’s experience and tolerance for open water also belong in the decision.
Tell Scott that High Banks is the lodging base, then share the date, group size and species goals. He can evaluate current Winnie conditions and choose a launch that reduces unnecessary running while putting the anglers near the most promising water.
