Ballards - Lake of the Woods, Minnesota

February/March

During the winter months of February and March, we roam over miles of Big Traverse Bay, continuing our search for walleyes & sauger. Our fish houses are among the best on the lake! And our guides are second to none...

Here at Ballards we have taken the winter fishing industry to a new level. Our committment to service is complimented by the great pride we have in our ability to "track fish", move our fleet, stay with the more active schools of fish, and see to it that you have the best experience possible on Lake of the Woods.

• Continue basic jigging techniques over mud flats or near rock reefs.
• Saugers stand out as the most active and sought-after species.
• Late winter walleyes return to the shallows and prepare for the spring run.
