The lake remains ice free but should be starting to freeze over soon. For recent fishing updates call the Lake of the Woods resort at 1-866-201-4194 (option 4).

The lake is dominated by stunted yellow perch. Very small bait and hooks will catch these fish. Fishing will be slow for yellow perch. They will be schooling.

Largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing is very slow. Best fishing for largemouth is along the lily pads on the north east side of the lake. The crappie fishery has really taken off here.
