The Lake

May

Starting with the mid-May opener, expect to find easy-to-catch walleyes in the confines of the Rainy River or along the channel that empties into Lake of the Woods.

May
  • Small boat fishing, guided trips, or boat and motor rentals are popular.
  • Live bait fishing with jigs and minnows is the norm...
  • Anticipate steady action on walleyes with post spawn occuring. Primarily male walleye will dominate the catch, with your occasional trophy fish being mixed into the equation.
  • Spring fishing can offer an excellent opportunity for a trophy class female.
  • Guided Walleye Fishing Packages include: lodging in housekeeping cabins, fishing 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with Coast Guard licensed guide, angling equipment, bait, tackle, on-board restroom, and fish packaging.
  • Post-spawn northern pike become aggressive.
  • Shallow bays of the Rainy River are great for spawning smallmouth bass, with the males being extremely aggressive.
