Midwest Outdoors TV: Lake of the Woods Ice Fishing

If you didn’t have the chance to see it on TV, check out the ice fishing show filmed in March, 2015.  Lake of the Woods is fortunate to have an extended ice fishing season through all of March.  What does this mean?

-Overnight fish houses are allowed on the ice to March 31st.

-As border water to Canada, Lake of the Woods enjoys extended fishing seasons.  Walleyes and saugers are open through April 14th and pike are open all year.

As a northern destination, ice thickness allows an extended season.  March can be an incredible month for ice fishing as the fish are putting on the feed bag for the upcoming spawn.  In addition, the days are longer and the weather warmer which can lead to some hot action.  Check out the day Midwest Outdoor’s host Greg Jones and Lake of the Woods Tourism’s Joe Henry enjoyed this past March.

Check out the Lake of the Woods Tourism website for info on ice fishing, lodging and even maps of the lake.
