Lake of the Woods Morson Fishing Reports by Tolen's

Wonder how the slush and getting around is now after more snow?

Nice laker and a great photo!

[Tolens]

We did a little LAKE TROUT fishing yesterday, On the way out in the morning it had frozen over the slush holes so travel was great. On the way in, if you were pulling anything you had to be VERY careful to stay on old trails. I got a video (not the best one I've taken) but shows how long a fight these LAKERS put up.

We also have a TRUE spring special on Cabin Rentals that runs till June 21. Check out our HSOforum for more details.

Enjoy

Cheers

Hello all

Less then a week till the WALLEYE opener. There's ice out there yet, in the bay at camp the last few days has seen the move in of the northern pike for the spawn. Also have seen shiners around the dock , just pinheads. Talked to one of the local guides he said that Sabaskong bay was clear of ice for the most part. As for White Fish Bay there was some open water on the east side till the wind picked up and pushed it back in. I have a little video of the ice out at the mouth of the Big Grassy River by Pork Point in Morson.

Cheers

Thanks for the video. Looks like opener should be good to go with the temps forecasted this week. I will be on Minnitaki for the opener. Been a stressful couple of weeks wondering what we were going to do with the ice..but it looks like we will be fine.

[Tolens]

Looks like the fishing was slow right after the big drowning of RAIN.

Things seems to be back to normal, I even had a couple hours to take my daughter fishing Saturday. She out-Fished me yet again. Caught some at between 5 to 12 fow on sand to rock bays.

Cheers

Another great weekend here in Morson, made it out Saturday to wet a line caught 90% of the fish in 16 fow off the side of a reef. Biggest walleye was 24 inch lots of 21 and 22 and enough small ones (14-15 inch) for supper. We used a minnow and a 1/4 ounce jig any color worked .

We are running some summer specials, check out the HSOforum for more details.

Have a good one,

Robert

The Fishing out of Morson is GREAT. Catching nice 14 inch slabs with slip bobber's . Or on the reefs hitting the WALLEYES. (16 fow) still the sweet spot. There are walleyes on the sand also. (5-10 fow) The Small mouth are very active, (one group pulling close to a 100 in a day). Muskies are making there way into a few boats too. Last night my daughter got her first muskie a 40 inch right at camp. If you are looking for a cabin to rent or a guided trip , we would be very happy to have you. Here's a few of the fish from this week so far.

Have good one

Walleyes in 25-30 fow , it was a drop your line to the bottom and pull up a fish. Caught them on a jig and a minnow . Glow in the dark white worked the best.

Have a good one

Just got back last night after fishing out of Morson Saturday thru Monday. Did really well, in spite of the 20 degree drop in temp from Friday to Saturday. Most were caught in 20' to 30' of water. Narrows, rock points and island shorelines. Jig and minnow or mimick minnow was all we used. Great trip.

[FishinFreaks]

Did you talk with any musky guys up there? Are they going yet? We're heading up next week for 4 days of mainly trolling for muskies. Can't wait to get out of here.

[Eastwind]

The water temp was 58 the day we started fishing and 55 the last day we fished. We saw a few boats trolling for Muskie but not as many as usual. The Muskie fanatic at the resort I stay at was waiting for the water temp to drop.

[FishinFreaks]

Thanks for the update. I can't believe how warm the water still is. Are you talking about Justin? We hope to see him next week, too.

[Eastwind]

Yes, I was referring to Justin. I just got an email from him yesterday. He was out one day, recently, and got two Muskies and five Northerns. Sounds like the water is cooling down and the fishing is heating up. Good luck, be safe, have fun.

[FishinFreaks]

Awesome! We're stoked and ready. Wish it was Thursday right now!

[welfedted]

Good luck ff. I was up last week. We stayed on an island over by Nester Falls. Did well on walleyes & crappies. Didn't target muskies, but one couple caught & released 26 in a 2 wk period. [ALL TROWLING] Biggest was 49". They do that every year. Our best fishing was back toward Morson, but very good by Nester also. Good Luck! KEEP THE FAITH, BUT DON'T FIGHT THE FEELING!wft

[Eastwind]

It's going to top out in the 40s down here all next week. Water temp up on LOW should be perfect for bringing in the big girls by next weekend. Go slay em!

[FishinFreaks]

Made it up and fished Thursday evening through Sunday. We're still learning this trolling game, but we got more confident with each day. Ended up with 6 musky and 2 good pike for the the trip. Biggest was 44.5" Fished Jakes. Best color was a white with blue back. Caught all but one of our fish. First fish was on a perch colored jake. Caught one Thursday, one musky and a pike on Friday, same for Saturday, and then finished with three on Sunday afternoon. Water temps were still 47-48. Air temps ranged from lows in the low 20's to highs in the upper 30's. Mostly had 15-20 mph winds except short stretches of lighter winds. Was a blast. Wish I could go up again this weekend.

[Tolens]

Took the trip by truck around to White Fish Bay yesterday to check ice conditions .There was 8 inches of ICE and 7 to 8 inches of snow. Slush/water on the ice is a couple inches in places. We have cabins available Lake Trout weekend opener. Have a good one

[FishinFreaks]

Thanks for the report, Robert. This will be our first missed opener in like 7 years. We'll be up later in January. I'm going to miss being there for the opener.

Merry Christmas

Went out today for a little fishing with the kids. There was 14 inches of ice or more. We fished in 22 fow used frozen shiners and a 1/4 oz jig glow in the dark white . I tried a Lindy Darter that also put Walleyes on the ice. Alf Gate has minnows in Bergland . I will check to see if anyone else has any or will have some soon.

Got a few pictures from our day ice house

We would have stayed for the evening bite , ( Christmas Dinner) So we headed back to camp early.

Have a good one
