Lake of the woods smallmouth fishing

[schlaufen]

Hi all,

I am new to the board and just can't get enough of smallmouth fishing.  My father/brother and I have been thinking of going to Yellowbird Lodge & Chalet on Lake of the Woods.  We have been there before but did not go for smallies. What is the smallie fishing like there?

I fish Georgian Bay, so kinda local to your area.

I heard Lake of the Woods is unreal for bass fishing.

Check out 'Fishin' Canada', it is a fishing show, and they do a few episodes fishing for bass on lake of the woods. They don't stop talking about how awesome it is, how it is the best in canada etc. Both episodes I have seen are for bass, some smallies, some larges. Check it out on....'myoutdoortv.com', google that and watch it for free

Hope that helps!

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the info.  I will certainly check it out.

It has been  a few years since I fished LOW but I would expect the fishing for smallies to be great. Personally I would prefer a boat in lodge. The reason being that drive in spots tend to have quite a few day fishermen starting out every morning so you might need to travel a bit farther.

My favorite time in the area has been the second or third week in June. Shoot me an email if you want more info.
