LOW vs Vermillion

[Big G]

I just got back from LOTW. My partner and I raised atleast 30 fish in 4 days of fishing during crappy, rainy, windy, rotten weather (half the time we couldn't see in the water, so maybe had more fish follow.........who knows).

I know the Big V has some good fish that are hitting 50 inches. But LOTW is in the top 5 for all time big fish and quantities!

LOTW....NO comparison, period!

I have fished LOW several times for muskies. Just checking to see if Vermillion is similar to there. Is it a bunch of islands or big water? Is the northern population similar, so that even when you are having an off day muskie fishing, you can still latch into a northern here and there? We usually go to Nester Falls. Although Leech is still my fav!!! Where would you guys go??

Does anyone have a comparison on LOTW from the Canandian side to the Minnesota side? Is musky population the same. I have fished with fishing101 a bunch of times out of Sabaskong bay on Canandian side. I just wonder do we have to go that far?
Thanks

I’ve spent a ton of time on Vermilion and have begun to explore LOTW. Even on it’s worst day LOTW destroys Vermilion. It’s not even close.

If you want action and hogs my advice would be to get your RABC permit and fish Canadian waters on LOTW.

It's like apples and oranges,

The Big V is awsome however, comparing it to Lake of the woods is hardly fair.
I have had many clients that have come to the Big V after being skunked on the Big lake.

I fished Lotw for many years before my
years on Vermilion. I have had some hot and cold days on both lakes. Vermilion can't yet compete in numbers of monster fish however, it's hard to beat for the
number of 38 to 48'ers.

I have also fished Leech many times and the Big V is right now much better than Leech. You can also fish less pressured
water on Vermilion than on either leech
or LOTW. Unless you have spent alot of time on Vermilion, you can't appreciate just how many "Big fish" are there.

My opinion may be a little bias, but it is all true....

Have a great season!
