Lake of the Woods was stocked with legal rainbow trout this week. Fishing should be excellent from a boat. Catching these fish from shore is more challenging. Trolling smalls spoons is your best bet.

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. Water temperatures are quite cold for most species except Brown Trout and Kokanee fishing might be an option. This is best from a boat.

Largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing should pick up this week.
