Kenora... North Lake of the Woods

[Moses2531]

I leave for a family houseboat trip out of Kenora next week and it being my first fishing experience in that area I was just looking for any insight.. I have fished LOTW before; just not that far north... is it similar type fishing for walleye as say the northwest angle region would be? Also I know my Dad is going to want to cast for skies and pike, any suggestions on bait type or locations for this time of year? Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks!

For muskies, I would purchase "Muskies on the Shield" and read it on the way up. Much of that book is written about LOTW. It should give you a good start. As far as pike and walleyes, I can't help you there as I've never fished up there. I'm sure if you would would fish for muskies there would be plenty of pike mixed in.
