Just 60 kilometers (35 miles) from the American border –
a 45-minute drive – Morson guards the edge of untamed
wilderness. Its many lodges are a Mecca for naturalists,

If there is a freshwater angling paradise, Lake of the Woods
is it. The multi-species options on the lake are second to
none. The scenery is incredible and throughout the year, no
matter the season, something is always biting.
Walleyes, smallmouth and largemouth bass,
crappies, lake trout and perch all exist in
huge numbers and offer trophy fishing
opportunities. Further options exist for the
less popular whitefish, burbot, especially
during winter.
The 14,000 islands on the lake give visitors
a good chance of viewing wildlife like deer,
moose, bears, wolves or one of the many
bird species that inhabit the lake area.

LAKE
OF
THE
WOODS VACATION AREA • 2011
Annually, the musky season in Sunset
Country opens every year on the third
Saturday in June. Musky are a spring
spawning fish and they move into shallow
bays and coves to spawn in late May and
early June. By the time the season opens,
muskies have typically moved out from
their spawning areas but many fish are still
located in shallow water. That is where you want to start
your search.
Many anglers actually plan their trip to Lake of the Woods to
coincide with the June opener and this is never a bad idea.
Muskies are green and have not seen a lure in months. They
are also active and foraging in an effort to recover from the
rigors of the spawn.

MUSKIES
As the fall approaches and water starts to cool,
muskies on Lake of the Woods begin to change
their attitudes. A nearly dormant fish under
the ice, muskies put on the
feedbag big time in the
fall in order to
THE
Lure options and fishing techniques during the summer can
vary widely because the window is wide open as far as where
fish could be located. It is best to have options; in-line
spinners, topwaters, jerkbaits and glidebaits can all put fish
in the boat. In all my years of guiding, experience has
taught me that in-line bucktail style baits are the best fish
catchers. They seem to trigger more fish to bite and hook
up better than any other style of bait. Summertime is
casting time in my opinion, you can put your bait in front
of more fish and cover a higher percentage of water than
you can by trolling.
OF
As summer progresses, anglers should start thinking more
about getting out of the weeds and onto the rocks.
Throughout August and early September, rock reefs,
especially the large complexes of reefs attract fish that are
focusing their feeding efforts more on larger prey like cisco,
baby walleye and smallmouth bass. Anglers are wise to take
a run-and-gun approach to their days on the water
throughout the summer. Hitting as many high-percentage
spots as possible in a day; main lake points, island saddles
and large reef structures, is the best way to connect with
fish. Some anglers that are new to Lake of the Woods have
been known to have success by following one of the many
extensive buoy systems (routes) and hitting as many marked
reefs as they can in a day.
bulk up for the long winter. Now is the time to bust out
the big baits and start trolling. Locationally, muskies can be
found in predictable locations. It's all about following the
bait, specifically the plentiful cisco that spawns in the fall.
Ciscos spawn on rocks, and it seems like many of the major
neck-down areas of the lake that have some current moving
through them are the most high-percentage spots. Most
experienced anglers spend their time trolling large cisco
imitating crankbaits through these areas at speeds of 2.5 4.5 mph. Windblown rocky shorelines can be a good place
to troll your baits as well. Hardcore anglers catch fish until
the bitter end of the open water season, sometimes fishing
right into December. I know a handful of anglers that have
even broken ice to get out on the lake for that last outing of
the year.
LAKE
Locationally, anglers should keep a few things in mind early
in the season, June through July. Focus efforts around large,
shallow bays. Rock reefs in these bays, large pencil reed
areas or large weed beds in 6 - 12 feet of water are my top
three choices. Lure options should include some in-line
spinners (bucktails) and topwater baits, which can shine
this time of year, especially early and late in the day.
Anglers that have never fished on Lake of the Woods can
understandably be intimidated by the massive size of this
body of water. As big as it is, navigation is easy thanks to
the great mapping available both on paper and on chips
that can be used in GPS units. The unique thing about the
lake is that is basically like 5 lakes in one with all of the
different basins that have different water clarities and
average depths. If you like clear water, the Whitefish and
Clearwater Bay areas have extremely clear water. If you like
darker water (muskies do) the south end of the lake from
Sabaskong Bay all the way up to Kenora at the north end
offers great musky fishing. There are great resorts located
in all corners of the lake that have knowledgeable people
available to give you information on the musky bite as well
as other fish that can be caught. These guys can also
arrange your dream fishing trip. If you want to catch a
musky, Lake of the Woods is the place to go this year! –

and bustle that has
somehow, almost
miraculously been
transported into a pristine
wilderness setting.
Kenora is rich in history and culture. From the voyageur fur
trade routes, a frontier village known as Rat Portage (reference
to the muskrat) sprang up. The voyageur canoe routes were
followed by a network of land trails that developed into roads
and in the mid 1880’s, the railroad. This brought industry to
Rat Portage including logging, saw mills, gold mines, and
flour milling. In 1905, the village fathers decided a name
change was needed as more businesses arrived – and they chose
the name KENORA – KE from their sister town of Keewatin,
three miles to the west, NO from the village of Norman also
just west, and RA from Rat Portage. Kenora’s unique past is
narrated through 21 murals painted on buildings, many of
which are historic, throughout the city’s core.

& SAFETY TIPS
Assembled with contributions by Tourism Kenora and Al Smith
• Hire a local guide
• Know your ice thicknesses
• Wear layered clothing: you’ll be warm as you drill ice holes and
set up, then cool down as you relax at your spot
• Take a good pair of waterproof boots rated for cold weather
• On a sunny day, light reflects off the ice and snow. Prevent
windburn and sunburn with sunscreen, sunglasses, and other
protective gear
• Fish with a friend and watch each other for signs of frostbite
• Let someone back home know where you are going and when
you are returning
• Clean up your site when finished for the day
• Build a fire on the shore, not on the ice
• Buy your fishing license from local marinas, bait shops or
sporting goods stores • Up to two lines per license
• Speak with local bait shops for expert advice
In order to protect Lakes and other water bodies from evasive,
new or diseased species, the Ministry of Natural Resources will
enforce the law that prohibits the transport of live bait across
international and provincial borders.
Please be advised that it is illegal
to bring live fish, leeches,
crayfish or salamanders
into Ontario for use as
bait.

LAKE
OF
THE
WOODS VACATION AREA • 2011
The site of the Sioux Narrows bridge, was the site of a famous
Native battle and massacre between the local Cree and Ojibway
tribes against the Sioux. The aggressive and dominating Sioux
were secretly ambushed and defeated by the Cree and Ojibway
at the narrows, hence the name Sioux Narrows.
A brand new bridge was recently completed to replace the
original wooden bridge that was once the longest single span
wooden bridge in the world. With its signature wooden trusses
incorporated into the design, the new bridge preserves the look
and historical significance of the magic in Sioux Narrows.

Situated approximately 60
miles north of the border
towns of International Falls,
Minnesota and Fort Frances,
Ontario as well as Baudette,
Minnesota and Rainy River,
Ontario, Nestor Falls is in
the midst of literally dozens
of lakes on a picturesque
corridor of pre-Cambrian
granite and magnificent
conifers offering some of the
most diverse angling
opportunities to be found in
mid North America.
In a recent internet contest sponsored by the World Fishing
Network Nestor Falls placed second in the votes received as
the Ultimate Fishing Town. Since the winner by just a few
votes is a town on the west coast of Canada with salt water
fishing, Nestor Falls is proclaiming itself as the Ultimate Fresh
Water Fishing Town in Canada.
People in and visiting Nestor Falls set their calendars by what
fishing season it is, spend free time on the water what ever the
season and add to the “fish stories” they can tell. Our
numerous community events include the Winter Carnival,
Crow Lake Classic fishing contest and the Onigaming
Powwow.
We are a community that exists because of fishing and the
other great natural resources that we love to share with others.
Dozens of resorts, float plane bases, restaurants, bait and
tackle retailers, grocery and hardware stores all make their
living directly or indirectly from what this area offers. Many
year round activities are centered on fishing beginning with
the January 1st opening of the Lake Trout ice fishing season
along with Crappie, Walleye and Northern Pike. Spring iceout brings open water fishing with the reopening of walleye
in May and, in June, the chase for the monster Muskie.
Much like fishing, hunting opportunities abound for deer,
black bear, moose and wolf with bow and arrow,
muzzleloader or rifle. For the shot gunner ruffed grouse and
wood cock frequent the woods and numerous species of
waterfowl are found in the many weedy bays, swamps, beaver
ponds and rivers.

The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway built the original

In 1922 the Canadian Pacific Railway announced it
would build bungalow camps at the lower end of Devils
Gap on Lake of the Woods. Devils Gap Lodge opened on
July, 01, 1923.
The main lodge building was comprised of a dining room
with seating for one-hundred, a kitchen, a lounge area
with a stone fireplace, and a huge screened veranda. Also
built were twenty-two bungalow camps that had a
veranda, camp cots, and running water. In 1923 rates were
$5.00 per day, or $30.00 per week. People returned year
after year. The bungalow cabins were never referred to by
name, but instead by the regular guest names. So, great
the popularity of the resort became in the 1930's,

southern Rainy River district. Tourists would hire a boat to
take their group out onto the lake. At the end of a successful
trip they would hire a local photographer like Carl Linde to
take pictures of their catch. It would give them something
to take home and with these pictures they were guaranteed
to astound their colleagues.
Eventually by the 1930's the TransCanada highway was
built across the country and further connected the two
coasts. The northern section of the Lake of the Woods
district was opened up to the United States with the
opening of Highway 71. It connected this area to the Rainy
River District highway system. And, by the mid-1960's a
crude road linked Minaki to the TranCanada highway.
Along these roads new resorts opened up to accommodate
the arrival of curious, adventure seeking American anglers
and hunters. Automobiles full of outdoors men headed to
the north looking for untouched waters to explore. Sioux
Narrows, Nestor Falls, and Morson became hotspots these
people flocked too. Amazingly many of the early roadside
resorts are still operating. But resorts like Moose and
Muskie in Morson, Westview Resort in Nestor Falls, and
Traube's Sioux Narrows Lodge in Sioux Narrows have come
and gone.

The angling and hunting tourist trade has definitely evolved
over the last one-hundred years. It helped transform the
area into an outdoor destination and added the terms
American Plan, Light Housekeeping, and Fly-In to
everybody's vocabulary. The one constant has always been
the untouched beauty of the area and it only seems to get
better with age.
Editors Note: Many early camp owners changed their businesses
from logging camps to tourism. One of the earliest tourism
operators was also a pharmacist. Ernie Calvert started Calvert
Camps with not much more than 'tent camps' or tent cabins in
the 1920's. His guests traveled via the Chicago Flyer, a train
that travelled on the Canadian National Rail line from
Chicago to Rainy River. Ernie would take them by boat from
Rainy River to Morson; in later years, by car, then boat to his
outpost cabins.

CROSSING THE BORDER
U.S. visitors to Canada will be asked to verify their citizenship
upon returning to the United States. U.S. citizens entering the
United States at sea or land ports of entry are required to have
documents that comply with the Western Hemisphere Travel
Initiative (WHTI), most commonly a passport, a passport card, a
trusted traveler card such as NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST, or an
enhanced driver's license.
Citizens of other countries must have a valid passport and may
require a visitor visa.
If you have a felony or misdemeanor arrest (i.e. DWI/DUI ), you
should contact Canada Customs at least one year prior to your
arrival.
If traveling with children, be sure to have identification for ALL
children (i.e. birth certificate, baptismal certificate or passport).
Children traveling with someone other than a legal guardian should
have written permission from their legal guardian or custodial parent.
When traveling with only 1 parent, you should have written
permission from the other parent to take the child out of the country.
Dogs and cats entering Canada from the US must be accompanied
by a valid rabies certificate, signed and dated by a Veterinarian
issued within the preceding 36 months. The certificate must
provide a sufficient description and detail, in order to identify the
pet. Pups and kittens under three months old do not require a
certificate but must be in good health at the time of entry. Visitors
from countries other than the US, who wish to bring a pet into
Canada, should contact the Canadian Food Inspection Agency at
(905) 612-6285.
BAIT
Frozen or salted minnows are allowed. Live earthworms are
