Never been to LOW, but have stayed at Portavilla on Upper Red. They have nice houses, I especially like their fold down beds (very comfortable) and they have heated portable bathrooms right out on the lake. Plus they are a sponsor, 2 very fun guys.

We always come in at the end of the day on LOW. There really isn't much of a night bite, so there isn't a reason to stay out there.

Waskish Minnow Station on URL. They operate off Hillman's on the E side on Hwy 72. Sleepers are always clean and comfortable plus they move their houses to stay 'on' fish. Been using them since 2002, have even brought the wife up a couple times. She's not much for ice fishing but she was impressed with their operation.

I go to Lake of the woods every year with my brother and a buddy. We get a sleeper house thru Lyons Sleepers run by Tim Lyons. We have gone there for years and most of his business is repeat customers that come back year after year. He has nice clean houses that are pretty well setup. They keep pretty active trying to stay on fish and never balk if your having a tough bite and wanna try and move. I would recommend him to anyone that asked.

Ditto on Lyon Sleepers, been goin gthere for quite a few years, always good results. Better call quick as they fill up fast...

How was the fishing when you stayed with Portavilla? I'm heading up there with some friends and dad end of January for 3 days. Going into the trip blind. Never fishes the lake. Any advice?

Thanks

My friends and i rent sleepers from arnesons on low yearly. There big houses with bathrooms in them. They also have gas ranges with ovens, bait and fish cleaning is included as well. My problem is if im gunna drive 3 hrs i want to fish every second i can and ive tried day houses but some resorts dont get you out till after 9 and pick you up before 4. With sleepers i get there at 12 on friday and they pick me up at noon on sunday. Joe and the crew up there keep you on the fish as best as they can and id recommend it to anyone whos lazy like me.

If you want something a bit closer, the Brainerd Lakes area has some great fishing!

Go to place that the fish are biting, that is what you want. Check the reports and go from there.

+1 for Jonny P and Kelly on URL. Great service and even better stories!

Thanks for the kind words guys. We at the Waskish Minnow Station Sleepers try to run a very family friendly operation. That was how the private bathrooms, closeable hole covers and anything we could do to make it comfy and safe for the wife and kids came to be. Plus having Patsy running houses with us everyday helps us keep the female perspective in view!

I was up for this past weekend and the fishing was great for about all that I talked to.

Before you go up, call Chris at Port-A-Villa and Chris will let you know what the hot lure has been as of late.

Chris will go out of his way to help see that you are on fish and catching them. Jerry at Rogers campground where you will go by on the way to the lake landing can also offer up some great bite info. Nice new lodge and the new ammenities at the lodge are wonderful. The heated bathrooms on the ice are also very nice.

have a great trip there.
