Shoal Lake Road runs south off of the Trans Canada Highway (#17) approximately 2 miles east of the Ontario/Manitoba border. Paved most if not all the way in. Then further east on #17 and again turning south is the Rush Bay road which accesses Rush Bay and Clytie Bay. Both well traveled roads with fancy cottages and good boat launches.

You can put your boat in at Kenora or Clearwater Bay and drive your boat into Shoal with a 10 -15 minute boat ride. I ride in from Kenora by boat because it takes longer to trailer to the lake and the distance is shorter by water.

I'll say that Shoal is part of Lake of the Woods. There are muskie in there. Shoal Lake is closed to walleye fishing though. You cannot targewt them. If you catch one you must change your presentation. If you catch more you must move. There are no published charts for Shoal Lake and there is ' a Ton ' of reefs sitting 1 - 3 ft below water. Take extra care when going out on Shoal.

Both. Weeds in the back of most bays and lots of chunk rocks. You might find a bass or two. I'm in there all the time. Are you thinking of trying it?

I live on the Winnipeg River at Millar Rapids. Ya the fishing has not been consistant the last few years. I think that the near record high and near record low water levels over a three year priod had alot to do with it.The walleye and pike fishing has been very good lately though. In fact, with the limit restrictions imposed a few years back no one is fishing the river anymore or at least the boat traffic is minimal and the walleyes are bigger and more numerous. Let me know when you get here and I'll help you out. My contact info is on my HSOforum.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
