Lake of the Woods is commonly known as the "Walleye Capital of the World" for good reason! Walleyes are plentiful in the big lake with both eater sized and trophy fish caught in abundance daily! Lake of the Woods offers many other species of gamefish as well from perch, sauger, pike, sturgeon and eelpout to smallmouth bass. Lake of the Woods offers full service resorts from the Rainy River, across the South Shore and up to the Northwest Angle that will certainly fit your needs for a family vacation or a group setting with friends or work associates. This is a twelve month a year fishery with ice fishing being equally popular as open water. Plowed roads or on ice transportation are offered by resorts along with rental day houses and sleeper houses as well. Lake of the Woods on the Minnesota side really does offer everything you need for a great fishing vacation!
