While it is a tremendous body of water with 1,980 sq. miles and over 1,400 Islands, and 40,000 miles of shoreline, our area (Sabaskong Bay on the east side of the lake) offers a very safe haven, being protected by hundreds of Islands of all shapes and sizes. The rock shorelines lined with majestic stands of white, red and jack pine still look much the same as they did in the time of the early explorers. Long known as one of the best inland fisheries to be found anywhere, Lake of the Woods also has such great variety that you can fish a different species each day for more than a week.
WORLD CLASS MUSKIE FISHING - Lake of the Woods has consistently produced excellent numbers of fish in the 40 to 50 inch class. Also it is not unrealistic to catch that trophy sized (over 50 inch) lunker. Medium heavy to heavy baitcasting rods with 25 to 35 pound line are the ticket, Bucktails and spinner baits in the early season around the weeds and shallows give way to crankbaits and surface baits by mid-summer. Fall usually finds the fish deeper and deep divers and jigging baits can be deadly here. Season opens the third Saturday in June.
FAST PACED BASS FISHING - Possibly the best kept secret about Lake of the Woods is the fact that it not only produces excellent numbers of smallmouth, but also lots of fish in the 17 to 21 inch class. Crankbaits, jigs and spinners all work well on the boulders in the early season. Mid-summer, rubber tailed jigs and deep cranks will pick them up in deeper water. Don't Forget about LARGEMOUTH BASS in deep cover. We have them as well. Season runs all year, with catch & release only during the month of June. Best times are the third week of May to mid-July.
WALLEYE FISHING - Sought after as a delicacy, a walleye shorelunch is truly worth the trip in itself. Lake of the Woods not only offers good numbers of lunch sized fish, but also opportunities to catch a fish of 30 inches or more. Jigs and minnows or leeches work well throughout the season, but bring some deep diving crankbaits if you like to cast or troll. Season opens the third Saturday in May. Best times are consistant throughout the season.
NORTHERN FISHING - These fish are the first to become active. Right after ice out you can find them up in the shallow bays ready to feed. Bucktails and spinner baits work well in the weed beds and bays, teamed with a medium to heavy baitcasting rod and reel. Weedless spoons and twister tails will also produce well but again, have a few larger diving crankbaits for rock shorelines. Best times mid-May to mid-July.
CRAPPIE FISHING - Shy, scrappy, finicky and delicious. We find them generally spring and fall and usually small jigs and minnows work best. Good numbers of fish and size up to 17 inches in our area. Best times - May 21st to June 21st or September 15th to October 30th.
