Lake of the Woods
= LAKE OF THE OPTIONS
BY JEFF GUSTAFSON
When you consider all the great things that Lake of the
Woods has to offer anglers, there are not many places that
compare. World-class fishing for several species of fish - for
both numbers and size. There are excellent angling options
throughout all seasons of the year and region is relatively easy
to access, being a day's drive for most folks across the midwest. For those that live farther away, flying into Winnipeg
or International Falls and enjoying the twohour drive (give or take) out to the lake is a
popular travel method.
There is
spring (April 15 to the third Saturday in May) during the
annual spawning run. During the spring and summer 100
fish days are common in the central section of the Lake from
Kenora due south to Morson. Bigger fish are becoming more
plentiful every year in the clear water arms of the lake like
Whitefish Bay and Ptarmigan Bay due to the emergence of
large populations of smelt minnows that walleyes are eating
in these sections.
likely no
body of water on the
planet that holds as
many 15-18 inch
walleyes with huge
numbers of bigger fish
mixed in as well.
Throughout the year anglers travel to Lake
of the Woods from all over the World to
take in the fantastic walleye, pike, musky,
crappie, perch, lake trout, smallmouth and
largemouth bass as well as whitefish fishing
that is available. There is always a season
open for something and always fish that are
eager to bite. There is no other body of
water that can offer these kinds of options.
The Great Lakes hold healthy populations
of all these fish but these species are never
located in close proximity to each other and the weather
decides for anglers whether or not they are able to hit the
water. Though it's a large body of water at over 1 million
acres, the 14,000 plus islands on Lake of the Woods always
provide protection so that anglers never get “weathered-out”.
Let's take a look at the prime times to visit the lake for your
favourite species.
WALLEYE
Walleye is king on Lake of the Woods and fishing shines
throughout the year. The season closes for a month in the
8
LAKE
OF
THE
On the ice, walleye fishing continues to
become more popular each season. Fish
can be caught on main lake humps all
season long and the classic jig and minnow
remains the best option for putting fish on
the ice. Guides around the lake rent fish
houses that are set up on prime spots so all
you have to do is show up.
There is likely no body of water on the
planet that holds as many 15-18 inch
walleyes with huge numbers of bigger fish
mixed in as well.
PIKE
If catching a bunch of nice fish is what you consider fun,
then you owe it to yourself to visit the Lake of the Woods
region during the late summer period. Pike begin their
movement out of the shallow weed-filled bays where they
spend the spring and summer and they focus their feeding
efforts on open water baitfish like cisco, smelt and perch.
Use minnow imitating lures around points and rock
shorelines leading out of the weedy bays.
EDITION

12:16 PM
Page 9
If you want to catch a trophy fish, one that you will
remember for the rest of your life, try a late fall trip during
mid-late October. Trolling big crankbaits around rocky
channels with current is the main tactic during this
timeframe. Though the weather can be challenging during
this time of year, the fish will make you forget about the
weather in a hurry!
CRAPPIE
Though they are not native to Lake of the Woods, crappies
are now firmly established throughout the lake.
Traditionally, the Nestor Falls area of the lake is the best for
numbers of slab crappies, though crappies are found in
nearly every corner of the lake.
OPTIONS
The season opens annually on the third Saturday in June.
Early in the season excellent fishing options exist in shallow
water where muskies are slowly making their way out of the
weedy back bays that they spawned in during late May and
early June. Look for pencil reeds that reveal shallows rock
piles and cast the edges with bucktail spinners and topwater
lures.
LAKE TROUT
Healthy populations of lake trout exist on Lake of the
Woods in big part to Ontario's Ministry of Natural
Resources implementing protective regulations. Lake trout
can be found in two areas of the lake, the Clearwater Bay
area in the west arm and the Whitefish Bay area around
Sioux Narrows.
THE
MUSKY
Lake of the Woods is one of the most famous musky waters
in North America and for good reason. At over one million
acres, there are literally millions of muskies waiting for
anglers and some of them are GIANTS!
The hot spot on the lake is easily accessible by vehicle down
the ice road just south of Kenora around Coney and Treaty
Island's. Small spoons and jigs tipped with minnows will
put big numbers of nice sized 10-12 inch perch on ice, with
14 and 15 inch fish not uncommon.
OF
The season remains open for pike year-round and for the
best shot at a true giant, plan a late ice trip in late March or
early April. Big pike make predictable migrations to the
shallowest bays on the lake to spawn and they line up in
front of these bays waiting for the ice to melt. A good guide
can set you up on the best spots and teach you how to catch
fish. The top five biggest pike that I have caught have all
been during this late ice period.
anglers because of their great table fare, especially during
the winter ice season.
LAKE
If you want to catch a big pike, focus on the central section
of the lake from Kenora to the Aulneau Peninsula. Though
the numbers of fish are not as high in this section big fish
are common. If you want to catch big numbers of pike, the
clear water bays off of Whitefish Bay are loaded with nice
fish.
Though trout can be caught pretty good throughout the
open water season, the hard water period after the season
opens on January 1 is the best time to catch numbers of fish
and some true giants. Lake trout exceeding 30 pounds are
caught on the lake each winter.
A cold-water species, lake trout are active throughout the
winter and caught be caught on a variety of artificial lures.
There are special regulations for lake trout on the lake so
make sure to check the Ontario Fishing Regulations to
make sure you are complying with everything.
BASS
The bass season is open year round on Lake of the Woods,
though there is a catch and release only season in the spring
running through to July 1 to protect smallmouth and
largemouth bass while they are spawning.
Excellent populations of smallmouths exist around the lake
while largemouths are located in isolated areas with a lot of
shallow water. Though neither species is actually native to
the lake, big numbers of fish in the 2-3 pound range are the
norm, while it usually take a 5 and 6 pound fish win big
bass awards at the bass.... Continued on page 15
Look for fish in shallow water when they spawn in late May
and early June. A slip bobber with a small jig and plastic
below will catch fish around bulrushes and pencil reeds. In
the fall, crappies begin to congregate in the deepest basins
of the bays that they live in. The fishing heats up and
continues through the ice season in the same locations. 100
plus fish days are common, with giant crappies in the 15
and 16-inch range caught regularly. The season is open
year-round.
PERCH
Yellow perch are common throughout the lake and are
usually caught incidentally by anglers targeting walleye. In
recent years, perch have become a more popular target by

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.
Located in the heart of downtown and with a grand opening in
2012, our newly constructed state-of-the-art "Northern
Ontario Sportfishing Centre" is the first of its kind in all

throughout the summer on the lake.
The entire summer period from June through August
provides anglers with some of the best topwater action
found anywhere and is the main reason that anglers travel to
target bass on the lake.
LAKE WHITEFISH
An often-overlooked fish by sport anglers, the lake whitefish
is one of the most sought after species by commercial
fishermen. The reason is that they are plentiful and they are
great to eat.
Though catching them during the open water season is
generally uncommon, like lake trout, they are a cold-water
species that really turns up the activity level under the ice.
The season is open for whitefish year-round.
Whitefish are active all winter long in the deep-water areas
of the lake and range in size from 2 to 5 pounds with 6 to
10 pound fish not uncommon. The best tactic is jigging
with small spoons.
There you have it, a quick outline of the World-class fishing
opportunities that exist on Lake of the Woods. At any time
during the year there is a hot bite happening somewhere on
the lake and you owe it to yourself to give it a try.

& 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.

GOING FOR THE GOLD
It’s been said that in the 1880s surveyors took to the bush,
sleeping in tents, and swatting off flies in order to evade the
clamouring of prospectors in constant demand of their
services in establishing mining claims. With word out that
there was gold to be found on the islands and shores of Lake
of the Woods, every man with a dream became a prospector
and surveyors had more work than they could handle.
The discovery of gold in these here parts can
be traced back to the early 1870s. One story
gives credit to William Murdock’s work gang
who, in 1872, was making a preliminary
survey for the Canadian Pacific Railway
(CPR) near the Northwest Angle when one
of the workers picked up some gold-bearing
quartz. The other story puts the discovery
on the other end of Lake of the Woods near
Yellow Girl where Frank Moore was
surveying for the CPR in 1873. Whatever
the case, gold was found on Lake of the
Woods.
The Sultana was considered the chief mine of the western
gold fields and during its primary time in production, from
1891 until 1902, it produced almost one
million dollars worth of gold.

considered the chief
mine of the western
gold fields and during
its primary time in
production, from
1891 until 1902, it
produced almost one
million dollars worth
of gold.
While many of the prospective properties
proved to be based more on wishful thinking
than on the hard evidence of substantial
amounts of gold-bearing quartz, there were some properties
that more than compensated. It was word of these that
spurred on the rush to what was, for a brief shining moment,
the country’s richest gold field.
Of the numerous mines on the lake there were three in
particular that fed the mining frenzy with their record of rich

finds. They were the Sultana, the Regina and the Mikado
mines. The fact that the Regina was in the east near Sioux
Narrows, the Mikado in the west on Shoal Lake and the
Sultana somewhere in the middle gave hope to other
prospectors who could only conclude that there was gold to
be had all over the lake.
The Regina experienced what many of the
mines on the lake did, erratic periods of
activity and inactivity. Gold mining and
milling was a new industry and not entirely
understood by those who were running the
mine. Many mistakes were made.
Insufficient and unsuitable machinery was
purchased and a large amount of gold was
lost in the tailings. The mine changed hands
numerous times and with each change of
ownership came a new name – Black Eagle,
Horseshoe, Kenland and Goldwood.
However, when all was said and done the
mine produced a half a million dollars in gold.
The Mikado Mine was situated south of Bag Bay on Shoal
Lake. Operations there began in 1898 and as with the other
two major gold mines, a full-fledged community took root at
the site. There were dwellings, an assay office, general office,
cooking camp, an ice house, stables, a blacksmith shop and
EDITION

All of these mines contributed significantly to the Ontario
gold yield which rose from $2,000 in 1891 to $265,000 in
1898 to a peak of $422,000 in 1899.
By the early 1900s most of the mines on the lake had
ceased operations. The primary reason for the failure of so
many of them was mismanagement which meant that
more money was being spent on retrieving the gold than
was being realized from its production.
Some years later, in the thirties, there was a revival of gold
mining on Lake of the Woods that lasted about ten years.
The price of gold had increased to $33 an ounce and new
and more economical mining methods had developed
giving investors reason to re-examine mines that had once
been abandoned. The principal mines during this second
period included the Wendigo, Cedar Island and the
Duport mine on Cameron Island in Shoal Lake.
While it’s unlikely that gold mining on Lake of the Woods
will ever see the investment and widespread prospecting
that it did 120 years ago, hope for a significant find
continues at mines in the Shoal Lake area.
more. The mine even had its own steamboat, the Mikado,
which conveyed supplies to and from the mine. It is said
that the mine produced gold bricks so regularly that it
became known as “Old Faithful”.
During the war years, with many of Canada’s labour force
overseas, the agricultural and natural resource industries of
the country were suffering. The Canadian government, in
seeking ways to alleviate the labour shortages, looked to the
growing population of POWs for a solution. In May of
1943 regulations were instituted which allowed the
Department of Labour and the Department of National
Defence to employ willing POWs in work projects.
Primary industry businesses who wanted to employ POWs
could apply for labour.
Ontario-Minnesota Pulp and Paper, owner of the Kenora
mill, did just that. Their application to use POWs in their
cutting operation on Lake of the Woods was approved and
in the fall of 1943, as the lumber camps were beginning
their winter operations, trainloads of prisoners arrived in
Kenora. The men were assigned to one of the six lumber
camps on the lake – Camp 43 at Adams River near Yellow
Girl; Camp 52 in Red Cliff Bay; Camp 56 at Alfred Inlet
and Camp 57 on Ghost Bay (both on the Aulneau
Peninsula); Camp 60 on Berry Lake; and Camp 61 in Oak
Bay on the Western Peninsula.
Each camp had between 100-125 POWs. Other staff
included a camp foreman, crew boss, camp clerk, cook and
assistant cook, walking boss, blacksmith, mechanic and
handyman. The prisoners lived the life of lumberjacks
while at the camps. For those assigned to cutting
pulpwood, they had a daily quota. Some prisoners were put
PRISONER OF WAR CAMPS
It seems a far-fetched idea that German prisoners of war
were once interned on the peaceful islands of Lake of the
Woods but during World War II, there were six camps that
housed prisoners from 1943 until the end of the war.
Some background... In 1940, Germany’s hold on Western
Europe and the threat of its invasion of England caused the
British government to consider the enemies within and the
potential threat they posed should Germany invade. At the
request of Britain, Canadian Prime Minister MacKenzie
King’s government agreed to accept the enemy aliens and
German prisoners of war that the Brits had captured. In
June of 1940, the first ships were dispatched to Canada and
by the end of July 4,000 British internees and 3,000
German POWs were housed in makeshift camps across
Canada.
Between the years 1941 and 1944, another 36,000
German POWs were transported to Canada and 26
facilities were either built or retrofitted to accommodate
them. While camps were located in Ontario, Quebec and
Alberta the two largest were in Lethbridge and Medicine
Hat, Alberta, both accommodating 12,500 prisoners each.
As well, there were more than 100 branch camps, labour
projects, military hospitals and detention centres across six
provinces. Six branch camps were located on Lake of the
Woods.

to work building roads on which the wood could be hauled out
in the spring. Still others were employed around the camp,
caring for the horses, helping in the kitchen, doing chores. For
this they were paid 50¢ a day, although they never actually
received money, but rather credit that could be redeemed at the
camp’s canteen.
The responsibility of security in the camps was that of the
employer. The companies were instructed that the POWs were
to be detained on the company’s land and were not to
fraternize with civilians. To assist with security, veteran guards
were assigned. On Lake of the Woods, four to six veteran
guards worked at each camp.
The prisoners were instructed to go no further than one mile
from camp. There were few attempts at escape; most prisoners
saw no reason for it. As one former prisoner said, “We had a
helluva good time here. If there had been any girls, we would
never have left.”
But they did have to leave. The camps on Lake of the Woods
closed down in 1946, the year after the war ended. Prisoners
were eventually all returned to England and then went home
to Germany.

THE
For the most part, their experience here was positive. Hans
Leiberwirth who was a prisoner at the Red Cliff Bay camp,
spoke of his time on Lake of the Woods: I want to stress that
we had been treated very friendly and fairly and really we didn’t
feel that we were prisoners. We first had the idea that we were
brothers or friends or acquaintances, not being treated as
underdogs or something, and that’s common in my mind and
will stay in my memory...It was like a family.
THE MIGHTY STURGEON
About ten years ago a young man boating in the early hours of
the morning near Keewatin approached what looked to him
like an over-turned canoe. As he got closer the “canoe”
disappeared beneath the surface and never re-appeared.
Thirty years ago in a small bay off Tranquil Channel in the
mists of a cool sunrise, a sailor’s peaceful reverie was disturbed
by the sight of an enormous fish rising out of the water’s calm.
Such fish stories add to the stock of Lake of the Woods lore
based on the mighty sturgeon. Stories like these of rare
sightings in the last 60 years contrast with tales of abundant

Perhaps exaggerated, the story speaks to the bounty of this fish,
the largest freshwater fish in Canada and one of the oldest
living fish in existence.
Sturgeon are no longer part of the lake’s commercial fishing
take. They have, in fact, been identified as Special Concern by
the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in
Canada and may soon be listed under the federal Species at

estimated that during the 1890s close to one
million pounds of sturgeon were lifted from
the lake.
At that time Lake of the Woods was supplying three-quarters
of the world’s stock of caviar. In 1895 alone, 250,000 pounds
of the delicacy were shipped from the lake.
There were twenty fishing companies operating on Lake of the
Woods in 1895 – ten Canadian and ten American. Using more
than 200 boats and tugs they pulled four million pounds of
sturgeon, whitefish, pike, suckers, and carp during the season.
The catch was brought to Rat Portage and from there
shipments were made to cities across Canada and the United
States.
This fishing heyday took its toll though. With few controls on
the amount of fish that could be taken or the type of
equipment that could be used, by 1903 the sturgeon catch was
down to 60,000 pounds. Ten years later, only a few thousand
pounds were taken.
The decimation of the sturgeon population in the lake was a
lesson learned. In more recent years measures have been taken
to avoid the fishing out of a species and to maintain a healthy
fish population. Only a portion of the lake is now open for
commercial fishing. Heavily fished waters have been closed as
have well known spawning grounds. Some areas like the north
half of Whitefish Bay were closed as early as the 1930s, others,
like parts of Shoal Lake, in the late 1980s. Limits have also
been placed on the minimum mesh size and maximum yardage
of nets. Quota systems have been implemented. At one point
even the marketing of the fisherman’s catch was subject to

Kenora is rich in history and culture. From the voyageur fur

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

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

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.
