Muskie Opportunities around Kenora

[ccarlson]

I stay a week each year on Dogtooth lake just south of Kenora where we focus on walleye. I'm wondering if there would be another lake close by that would make a good day trip for muskie in that area.

I know LOW would be one choice but with only wanting to do a partial or maybe one full day away from our walleye fishing, would LOW be too big to narrow down a few good spots to try? I've never fished that area of LOW. Maybe a starting point as to a couple bays or sections of the lake would help? Boat size is not a problem for bigger water.

Any other smaller lakes close by that would be worth a shot and maybe easier to narrow down some spots on our own?

We'll be there around the 20th of June.

Thanks for any help.

You might want to contact a person by the name Hemlock. He frequents these pages often. He is a full-blown Canadian and he even lives in Kenora. From what I have heard he also has the upper hand on the muskys up there.

Well, I do live up here, but I'm not that much of a muskie fisherman. I would send you to Whitefish Bay for some big muskies. That would mean putting your boat in at Sioux Narrows. Only giving it one day, will be tougher.

Crow Lake has Musky. It is south of Dogtooth near Nestor Falls.

Thanks for the replies.

I remember driving by Crow each year. How far off the main road is the landing and how big is the lake?

Good sized musky in there?

Any other lakes to try close by?

I've thought about Whitefish bay, Hemlock, but as you said, that would have to be a whole other trip.

Many big muskies are caught in Crow every year. Sabaskong Bay would be another option.
