There are 2 main areas of Lake of the Woods in the United States and they are home to some incredible fishing. We have set up different websites for all the popular regions on Lake of the Woods, so take a look below to learn more about the different parts of Lake of the Woods in the United States.
LOTW Northwest Angle Fishing
The Northwest Angle is a very unique destination. It is located in the United States, but you have to drive through Canada to get here. The border crossing is different here, so we recommend a quick online search to see the latest information for crossing the border here. Most people come here to fish and the fishing is very good in the Northwest Angle. Anglers catch so many species of fish here and with a little experience, they can usually catch big numbers of fish here too. You can catch smallmouth bass, walleye, northern pike, muskie, perch and crappie.
South Shore LOTW Fishing
The South Shore of Lake of the Woods is open water fishing. It is an awesome area, but the winds can definitely blow here and the waves can making fishing difficult. Bigger boats in this area are the norm, however, when the waters are calm, smaller boats do fine here too. This is a very popular walleye destination and maybe one of the best parts of the lake for catching good numbers of big fish. Anglers also catch northern pike, perch and some smallmouth bass here too.
