FISHING
About the Lake
Lake of the Woods is considered the “Walleye Capital of the World;” it also happens to be a shared body of water between Manitoba, Ontario, and Minnesota. It is Canada’s fifteenth largest lake and the 36th largest lake in the world.
Morning of Departure
The bus is scheduled to arrive just after 6:00am and will depart the hotel at 6:15am sharp. Do not be late for departure or you may be left behind. Prior to embarking, a take-out breakfast will be served in the breakfast room. The bus ride to Kenora will take approximately 2 hours. Our bus is equipped with a restroom; we strongly recommend using it prior to arriving in Kenora.
Fishing
Lake of the Woods contains numerous species of fish; the goal is to catch walleye and have a fresh shore lunch. Fishing licenses will be provided for you, along with the proper equipment. We will have guides on every boat to assist you while you fish. There are limited areas for restroom activities on the lake, so please try to do that before heading out. Beverages will be available on the boat, as well as onshore sunscreen and insect repellent. Loewen covers the guide fees and their tips. If you feel that you’d like to provide an additional amount, please give it directly to your guide; remember that there is no obligation or expectation for you to do so. If rain is predicted in the forecast, we will provide a rain jacket / poncho.
Shore Lunch
We will reconvene on an island for refreshments, while the guides prepare lunch. This meal will be natural, simple, and extremely fresh. If you haven’t already let us know of food allergies or aversions, please do so as soon as possible.
