...on Lake of the Woods. Walleyes are in abundance as anglers from all over the United States head to these pristine waters in search of adventure. Lake of the Woods is the largest fresh water lake in the continental United States after the Great Lakes. It’s a well kept secret, but is fast becoming the vacation spot everyone from the professional fisherman to the novice angler wants to frequent. As well as being the official "Walleye Capitol of the World", this international lake also produces Small mouth bass, Jumbo perch, Northern pike and the infamous Muskie.

Adventure galore awaits the avid sportsman. Early mornings are fresh and brisk as anglers take to the water in charter boats. Early in the summer, fishermen find the fish in shallower depths, but as water temps increase, the fish move out to greater depths. Early evening often provides a great bite as well, but don’t rush off the lake, because the length of day light hours on Lake of the Woods is the longest in the country. As a matter of fact we boast having the longest recorded daylight in the United States. All that light makes for great fishing adventures, water sports and beautiful sunsets. Come and enjoy the waters of Lake of the Woods.
