The lake was stocked two months ago with 12-14 inch rainbow trout. Trolling small 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. Fishing will be good for yellow perch. They will be schooling. Fishing for brown bullhead should be fair with a worm on the bottom especially at night.
Largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing is 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.
