Lake Of The Woods

Closest Town:  Kenora, Ontario

Lake Size:  3,150 Sq. Kilo.

Fishing Species:  Specializing in Trophy Walleye, Northern Pike, Muskie, Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass.  Lake Trout, Crappie and Yellow Perch also caught.

Public Boat Access:  Many locations including:

Behind the Kenora Wellness Centre where Laurenson's Creek meets Lake of the Woods.

End of Matheson Street near the Shopper's Drug Mart store.

Anicinabe Park near the Kenora Golf Course.

Two Bears Marina in Keewatin.

Near the Keewatin Arena.

Lake Notes:  One of the most Scenic lakes in the Country with over 65,000 miles of shoreline and 14,000+ islands.  It might hold more trophy pike per acre than anywhere else on earth. This would be big news if the muskie fishing wasn't also so great. Lake of the Woods has so many pike hotspots, naming just a few is tough, but Clearwater Bay, Keewatin Channel, and the Tangle are good in the north end. Near Sioux Narrows, Lobstick, Snake, and Long Bays are tough to beat. Fish approaching 50 inches (127 cm) are caught regularly, while 40-inch (101-cm) fish and better are relatively common. Casting for pike in July is good and the bite picks up again in September.  Fed by the Rainy River from the south and drained to the northwest by the Winnipeg River.  Connects to Rainy Lake thru the Rainy River.
