The walleye fishing is outstanding in the Sioux narrows area on lake of the woods. In this area, there are tons of bays, islands, channels and plenty of areas to duck out of the wind and still catch some fish on windy days. Early in the season, you have a better chance of catching good numbers of walleye without having to travel far. When mid-summer arrives, good numbers of walleye will move out onto the main lake and many of the walleye anglers will make the boat ride out to target these fish each day they are here visiting. If you are looking to target walleye, you can definitely have a lot of fun fishing this part of the lake.
Fish Early in the Season
In the spring and early summer, you can find tons of walleye in shallower water along the shorelines, off the points and islands and on the shallower reefs. For many anglers, this is the easiest time to catch walleye in this area without having to go far to do it. Once summer patterns set in, you are going to find a lot more walleye out on the main lake.
Main Lake Walleye
If you take a look at a map, you will see that it is a decent boat ride out to the main lake from Sioux Narrows out past Yellow Girl Bay. You can catch walleye in many spots on the way out, but once summer rolls around, most anglers will tell you that the walleye fishing is so much better out on the main lake.
Catch Lots of Walleye
If you get out to the main lake, you have a good chance to catch a lot of walleye. Some anglers report 30 to 50 fish days and even more once they get out there. You still have a lot of water to fish, so you need to spend some time finding the better spots that are holding bigger schools of walleye. If you spend more time out on the main lake though, you have a chance to catch tons of walleye here.
Catch Big Walleye
This part of the lake gives anglers a good chance to catch some huge walleye just like the other parts of the lake. Early in the year, you may find some big walleye closer to the town of Sioux Narrows. Some anglers report some success in Whitefish Bay, which is very deep with clear water, so it can be challenging. Out on the main lake though, you have a real good shot of catching a huge walleye all season long.
