Spend a Successful Day Fishing on Lake of the Woods with a Pro

Spectacular Lake of the Woods has 65,000 miles of shoreline and almost 15,000 islands. Many of the small islands, reefs and bogs that help make our fishing so phenomenal can also make it a bit intimidating. If you are a novice fisherman and want a successful fishing trip or if you are travelling to Kenora without a boat, hiring a guide may be for you. The fishing guides in Kenora are experienced fisherman that fish the lake often and know where the fish are biting. Hire a guide and you won't be disappointed. Most times all you really need is a fishing license. The guide will outfit you with fishing rods, bait, and everything else you need to make your fishing trip successful and memorable.

Lake of the Woods fishing is world-renowned. There are excellent opportunities available for walleye, musky, northern pike, smallmouth and largemouth bass, lake trout, crappie, and yellow perch. The Lake of the Woods fishery provides opportunities for both numbers of fish and the trophy of a lifetime. What other lake can you catch countless bass and walleye and trophy muskie or lake trout all in one day? Your guide will show you around our spectacular area and make sure you catch fish, have a great shore lunch and fantastic days fishing. With over 70,000 lakes and rivers in Sunset Country there are many other opportunities to hire a fishing guide.

Half or full day guided fishing trips are available. With the full day trip you can expect to have a delicious shore lunch. Imagine pulling up to an island and having your guide start a fire and cook a wonderful meal of fresh walleye, salad, potatoes and/or beans. Take a break and reminisce about the morning. Were there any “fish that got away stories”? Who got the biggest fish so far? After your lunch in the wilderness you'll hop back into your boat for some more fishing and sightseeing. Will you see a bear, eagles or maybe a moose swimming in the water? Wildlife sightings are endless.

Supper Overlooking the Lake

After your fun filled day on the lake, enjoy supper at the Best Western Lakeside Inn. The Waterside Restaurant is located at the top of this circular hotel and offers a breathtaking view of the lake and the city. As you enjoy a well deserved succulent meal, you can watch boaters come and go on Lake of the Woods. If you time it right you will be rewarded with a beautiful sunset. The sun setting on the water just can't be beat.

Top Off Your Day with a Nightcap

After your meal you can head to the Waterside Lounge next door which is also overlooking the lake. If you feel like a stroll, you can head a couple of blocks downtown to one of the lounges, pubs or sports bars. Casey's Bar & Grill is also open late if you want to venture farther down Lakeview Drive.
