Lake of the Woods Fishing Report | June 28

Lake of the Woods Fishing Report

The Woods Goods Report… “Fishing on the big lake continues to be great!  On the south end, good numbers and good sized fish are being reported in many places.  A jig and a minnow continue to produce but some are starting to use other methods as fish transition toward the main basin, mid summer patterns.  The most consistent reports have been from the Rocky Point and South Tip to Whiskey Flats areas. 

At the Northwest Angle there is plenty of action to be had.  Walleye fishing has been great with good numbers of fish on points and reefs in the 22-26′ range.  Smallmouth fishing remains decent on some shorelines.  The recent Ontario Musky opener adds another element of fun for people fishing up north.  Bays and rocky shorelines are places to focus for these incredible fish right now. “

Things to do

10 Things To Do in Warroad this Summer

People come from all over the World to have their picture taken in Hockeytown USA®, to fish the famous waters of Lake of the Woods, to golf the 9th green shaped like the great state of MN, or to view the Classic & Muscle Car collection of the towns mayor.  To help you plan your Warroad Vacation we have compiled a list of 15 things you won’t want to miss out on when visiting us! 

Kayak the Warroad River

Traverse the tranquil waters of the Warroad River on your kayak or rent your mode of transportation from Doc’s Harbor Inn. Doc’s rents paddleboats and boards, canoes, and kayaks to meet your needs.

Wind around lily pads, lilies, and cattails. Stop at the beach on the island or paddle to the Point. Watch the ducks, swans, and turtles as you zigzag your way upriver.

Bike the Warroad Trail

The biking paths around the Warroad Point Park are ideal for family biking. The wide, paved trails that wind around the lagoons next to Lake of the Woods provide plenty of space for training wheels, bike trailers, and even tandem bikes. Choose a short loop of a few miles, or go the distance – about 7 miles out to the Warroad Estates and back.

Golf a Course with a Minnesota State-Shaped Green

Warroad Estates Golf Course is an 18 hole championship layout with a Par 72 – 6,942 yard design that features four sets of tees and offers plenty of hazards (water and sand) to test the more experienced golfer while still giving the beginners a fair chance. The course is open to the public and has a relaxed atmosphere that will make anyone feel welcome. Be sure to check out the 9th green shaped as the state of Minnesota. The course is located 1 mile north of the intersection of US Hwy 313 & US Hwy 11 in Warroad, MN or five miles south of the US/Canadian border form Canadian Hwy 12.
