Some anglers have been reported fishing the late ice on Lake of The Woods in search of monster northern pike. To all of their enjoyment, they did very well landing many trophies over this past week. However, the warmer weather patterns continue to chip away at the remining ice on the lake. Please practice extreme safety this time of year if you do decide to venture out.
Also keep in mind that pike will begin staging adjacent to spawning areas and will be swimming back into shallow, muddy areas soon. Back bays with open water will be the go-to spot for anglers wanting to catch a giant pike. Therefore you can target these beauties from your boat and will not have to worry about unsafe ice. Pike season is open year-round.
Mark your calendar May 13th is the 2023 walleye opener. Most anglers in the “know” are betting and predicting that there will be a good bounty of walleye in the river on the opener. We look forward to helping you enjoy this tremendous time of the year. Trophy season is here. You certainly don’t want to miss out on all the action.

Starting right now and running until May 12th, 2023. Don’t just sit around and watch the ice melt. Give us a call and book your trophy season trip today.
