The lake is frozen with a ton of snow on top.Bring something to clear the snow before drilling through the ice. Anglers were doing well ice fishing for yellow perch with a few 12-inch hatchery rainbow trout mixed in. Practice extreme caution as ice is shifting and cracking. For recent fishing updates and for conditions of the ice, call the Lake of the Woods resort at 1-866-201-4194 (option 4).
The lake is dominated by stunted yellow perch. Very small bait and hooks will catch these fish. Yellow perch fishing should be good.
