Trophy Walleyes…Good Eater Walleyes…we got them all.
The wind really kicked up early this week and some anglers went for calmer waters and had mediocre fishing and what do you do, some days on the water are like that. But fishing is always legendary on Lake of the Woods if you are up for a challenge and our guides always are and have the equipment to support it.
A crew of anglers was ready to find some walleyes despite the wind and boy did they find fish! They caught and released a 32″, 31″ and a 29″, several between 20″ - 25″ and also kept a nice limit of good eating 15″-18″ fish to take. What a day! Lake of the Woods has over 950,000 acres to explore, thousands of reefs and good fishing holes. If you are looking for excellent walleye fishing this is the place to go, book one of our guided trips today are experienced guides are ready to get you on the fish!
The fishing has been best in the are of Little Traverse in about thirty feet of water recently. Bait fishing using spinners or jigs tipped with a minnow has worked well but if you are looking for some trophy fish your best bet right now is to troll with a shad rap.
Fall into walleyes…
Looks like we are headed into September already next week! Wow, where does the time go. Some of the most prized fishing months are soon upon us, September and October. Come on up and get in on some pole bending action as the weather starts to cool.

Walleyes, Muskies, Smallmouth Bass and Northern Pike take your pick or try them all!
Now is a great time of year for walleyes, muskies, smallmouth bass or northern pike fishing near Oak Island and the Northwest Angle of Lake of the Woods. The muskies and northern pike have really been hitting on spoons and buck tails, the bass on shad raps and the walleyes are hot on gold spinner or orange and pink 3/8 oz jigs tipped with a minnow.
The best locations for walleyes have been either south of Oak Island in 20′-25′ of water or areas around Tug Channel and Falcon Island around points and in depths between 10′ - 20′. We have recently seen mainly nice good eater size walleyes between 14″-18″ caught a few slot fish 19.5″-28″ but overall nice size fish for a delicious walleye shore lunch. As for muskie, northerns and smallies…areas on the south side of Oak Island, around Skeet, and the west side of Falcon Island are all good places to try.
A look ahead
Fall foliage, hunting seasons, and excellent walleye, crappie fishing will soon be upon us. Make your reservations now and fall into walleyes with our reduced fall rates!
