Angling
Bass / Smallmouth Bass: Fadden's Island in the Morson, Ontario area of Lake of the Woods in the late spring offers unparalleled smallmouth bass fishing.
Walleye: Miles Bay on Lake of the Woods in the spring is home to walleye, crappie and northern pike, which are drawn to the shallow waters between Miles Island and Comegan Island. They can range from good eating size to trophy walleye.
Muskie: Sabaskong Bay, Lake of the Woods, offers some of the best muskie fishing in the world. Shallow weed beds, rock reefs with scattered weed growth, and rock humps hold the illusive musky & northern pike.
Northern Pike: Horseshoe Island on Lake of the Woods are prime for walleye, smallmouth, northern pike and muskie fishing.
Crappie: Obabikon Lake has extensive growth of wild rice and weeds that offer superb action for crappie fishing. Lake of the Woods also has excellent crappie.
Trout / Lake Trout: Lake of the Woods is one of the few lakes in Northwestern Ontario that offers nearly all the species of fish including Lake Trout for your fishing pleasure.
Bass / Largemouth Bass: The Morson area of Lake of the Woods offers Largemouth Bass fishing.
Perch: Perch are abundant on Lake of the Woods and make a good pan fish for a shore lunch.
Sauger : Sauger fishing is much like walleye fishing. The two fish are very similar in appearance and often a sauger is mistaken for a walleye.
Nature and Adventures
Wildlife Viewing: While relaxing on your houseboat on Lake of the Woods, sit back and enjoy all the wildlife viewing your can imagine. Loons, Bald Eagle's, Moose or Deer at water's edge or perhaps even swimming across a bay.
Hunting
Birds / Grouse: Houseboat hunting can give you it all at one time. Once you've gotten your limit of ducks for a change, hop the islands for grouse. Don't forget the rods and reels for fall fishing to occupy your afternoons!
Birds / Duck: Basil Channel and Sunset Channel on Lake of the Woods are the flyways for ducks like the northern bluebills and in late October you'll want your houseboat parked close to the action so as not to miss the morning or evening shoot.
