This is what serious anglers dream about – six nights tucked away on your own private slice of Coney Island in Lake of the Woods, paired with two full days of guided fishing that'll have you talking about it for years. For $8,000 USD, your group of up to four gets the whole package: private lodging, all meals, and access to some of the best multi-species fishing in Canada. We're talking Walleye, Northern Pike, Muskie, and Bass – all swimming in waters that have been producing trophy fish for decades. Your guide knows every point, weedline, and structure on this massive lake, and you'll be fishing from a 2023 Vexus fiberglass boat with a 300HP Mercury that'll get you to the hot spots fast and keep you stable when the fish are biting.
Lake of the Woods is a fisherman's playground – we're talking about 65,000 miles of shoreline with everything from deep basins to shallow bays loaded with structure. Your days start early with coffee and a hearty breakfast before heading out in that Vexus rig. The 300HP Mercury isn't just for show – this lake is massive, and getting to the prime spots quickly means more time with lines in the water. Your guide has been working these waters for years and knows exactly where the fish are staging based on season, weather, and water temps. You'll hit classic Walleye spots on main lake points and humps, then swing into the weedy bays where Pike and Muskie love to ambush baitfish. The boat comes loaded with all the tackle you need, from jigs and plastics for Walleye to big bucktails and topwater baits for the toothy critters. Shore lunches are part of the tradition here – nothing beats fresh-caught fish cooked over an open fire on some remote island.
The beauty of Lake of the Woods fishing is the variety of techniques that work here. For Walleye, we're talking classic presentations – dragging jigs tipped with minnows along bottom structure, pulling spinner rigs behind bottom bouncers, or vertical jigging when they're holding tight to humps and points. The lake's rock piles and reefs are Walleye magnets, especially during low-light periods. Pike fishing gets more aggressive – we'll throw big spoons, spinnerbaits, and jerkbaits around weedlines and into shallow bays where they're waiting to crush anything that moves. Muskie hunting is the real adrenaline rush – casting big baits like bucktails, gliders, and topwater plugs to specific structures where these apex predators patrol. Your guide knows the seasonal patterns inside and out, from spring spawning areas to summer deep-water haunts and fall feeding zones. The Vexus boat's casting deck gives you plenty of room to work big baits, and that Mercury gets you from spot to spot without burning half your fishing time in transit.
Northern Pike in Lake of the Woods are absolute savages – these fish average 28-35 inches but don't be surprised when you hook into something pushing 40+ inches with teeth that'll slice through your leader if you're not prepared. They're most active during cooler parts of the day and absolutely explode on topwater baits in shallow bays during summer mornings. Pike are ambush predators that love weedy cover, so we'll work spinnerbaits and spoons along weedlines where they're waiting to crush unsuspecting prey. What makes these fish special is their aggressive nature – they'll hit hard and put on an aerial show that gets your heart pumping.
Walleye are the bread and butter of Lake of the Woods, and for good reason – this lake produces some of the most consistent Walleye fishing in North America. These golden beauties typically run 15-22 inches with plenty of keeper-sized fish and regular chances at true trophies over 26 inches. Summer finds them schooled up on main lake structure during the day, then moving shallow to feed at dawn and dusk. They're incredibly predictable once you understand their patterns, and your guide has those patterns dialed in. Walleye also happen to be fantastic table fare, so you'll be eating some of the best fish dinners of your life.
Muskellunge are the ultimate trophy fish – the fish of 10,000 casts that can make your entire trip when one finally decides to eat. Lake of the Woods Muskie average 38-45 inches, but fish over 50 inches swim these waters and are caught every season. They're moody predators that follow baits forever before either crushing them or disappearing into the depths. Fall is prime time when they're feeding heavily before winter, but summer fish are caught regularly by anglers willing to throw big baits and work likely spots methodically. Landing a Muskie is a career fish moment – these apex predators fight like freight trains and leave you shaking with adrenaline.
Six nights of private island living paired with world-class guided fishing doesn't come around often. This package delivers everything serious anglers want – access to proven waters, expert local knowledge, top-tier equipment, and the kind of remote setting where you can focus completely on fishing. The all-inclusive rate covers your group of four completely, so there are no surprise costs or nickel-and-dime charges. Your guide lives and breathes Lake of the Woods fishing and genuinely wants to put you on fish while showing you why this lake has such a legendary reputation. Whether you're chasing your first Muskie, looking to load the cooler with Walleye fillets, or just want to experience some of Canada's best multi-species fishing, this trip delivers. The dates fill up fast, especially during prime fishing seasons, so don't wait to secure your spot on what could be the fishing trip you'll be talking about for decades
This 2023 22-foot Vexus fiberglass bass boat cuts through Lake of the Woods with serious fishing power. Built for performance with a 300HP Mercury engine that cruises at 54mph, you'll reach prime walleye spots fast and fish from a rock-solid platform. The professional-grade boat handles up to 3 anglers comfortably, giving everyone room to work the waters for walleye, muskie, pike, and bass. Whether you're trolling deep structure or casting shoreline cover, this purpose-built fishing machine delivers the speed and stability serious anglers demand on one of Canada's premier fishing destinations.
Esox MasquinongyMuskie are the apex predator here - true trophy fish that can stretch 3-5 feet and weigh 20-50 pounds. They're ambush hunters that hang around weed edges, rocky shoals, and transition areas where they can attack prey. Fall is prime time when they're feeding heavily before winter, though late summer can be hot too. What draws anglers is the challenge - muskie are called "the fish of 10,000 casts" for good reason. When you hook one, expect aerial displays and bulldogging runs that'll test your gear. We use heavy tackle with large lures and always fish barbless hooks for easy release. Pro tip: work figure-8s boatside after every retrieve - muskie often follow lures right to the boat.
Esox LuciusPike are Lake of the Woods' resident predators - aggressive, toothy fish that average 24-34 inches and put up a solid fight. They lurk in shallow, weedy bays and around drop-offs, especially during spring and fall when they're most active. Summer pushes them deeper into cooler water. What makes them fun is their unpredictable nature - they'll hit hard then play with your lure before committing. We target them with spoons and swimbaits around weed edges and rocky points. My tip: when you feel that first strike, keep reeling slow and steady. Pike like to mouth their prey before swallowing, so patience pays off. Their razor teeth mean we always use steel leaders.
Sander VitreusWalleye are what Lake of the Woods is famous for - we're called the "Walleye Capital of the World" for good reason. These golden-colored fish average 15-20 inches but can push 30 inches and 10+ pounds. They're structure-oriented, hanging around rock piles, weed edges, and drop-offs during the day, then moving shallow at dawn and dusk to feed. Their reflective eyes give them an advantage in low light, making evening trips productive. What guests love is the steady fight and table fare - walleye are hands-down the best eating fish we target. My go-to technique is jigging with minnows near bottom structure, but trolling live bait rigs works great too.
