2 Day Walleye Pike Fishing Lake Woods Ontario

2 Day Guided Fishing Trip Lake of The Woods

Picture this: you're staying right on the shoreline of one of Canada's most productive fishing waters, waking up to the sound of gentle waves and knowing that two full days of world-class angling await you. This all-inclusive package at Lake of the Woods puts you and up to three buddies in prime lakeside lodging while our seasoned guides show you exactly where the big ones hide. We're talking about targeting trophy Walleye, monster Northern Pike, aggressive Muskie, and scrappy Bass across 65,000 square miles of pristine Ontario waters. At $6,800 USD for your entire group, everything's covered – your comfortable accommodations, all meals, and two days of guided charters with someone who's been reading these waters for years. Whether you're a weekend warrior or someone who's never held a rod, we'll get you dialed in on techniques that actually work out here. This isn't just another fishing trip; it's your chance to experience Canada's legendary angling without any of the usual hassles of planning, cooking, or figuring out where the fish are biting.

What to Expect on the Water

Lake of the Woods is a maze of islands, bays, and underwater structure that stretches across the Ontario-Manitoba border, and knowing where to start can make or break your trip. That's where our local guides earn their keep. We'll pick you up right from your lakeside cottage each morning, boats loaded with everything from jigs and live bait to the latest electronics for finding schools of active fish. The lake's diverse habitat means we can adapt to conditions – maybe we'll start the day trolling crankbaits along rocky points for Walleye, then switch gears and work weed lines for Pike when the sun gets higher. Our guides aren't just boat drivers; they're reading water temperature, wind direction, and seasonal patterns to put you on fish consistently. The beauty of a two-day package is that we can really dial in what's working. If day one shows us the Walleye are staging deep, we'll come back day two with the right presentations to capitalize. Between the guided expertise and prime location, you're getting access to fishing spots that take locals years to figure out on their own.

Techniques and Gear

We run modern, well-equipped boats with quality fish finders, GPS, and all the safety gear you'd expect from a top-rated outfitter. Our tackle selection covers the spectrum – from finesse presentations like drop-shot rigs and jig-and-minnow combos for picky Walleye, to bigger baits like spinnerbaits and swimbaits when we're hunting Pike and Muskie. The lake's structure varies dramatically, so we'll be working everything from shallow weed flats to deep rock humps, sometimes in the same day. Trolling is huge out here, especially for covering water and locating active fish, but we'll also spend time casting and jigging when the situation calls for it. Don't worry about bringing your own gear – we've got quality rods, reels, and tackle that's perfectly matched to these waters. Our guides will walk you through each technique as we go, whether that's setting the hook on a light-biting Walleye or managing a big Pike's head-shaking runs. The learning curve is part of the fun, and by day two, you'll be reading your rod tip and feeling bites like you've been fishing here for years.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Walleye are the bread and butter of Lake of the Woods fishing, and for good reason. These golden beauties average 15-20 inches but regularly push into the 24-28 inch trophy range, especially during late spring and early fall when they're feeding heavily before and after the spawn. They're notorious for their light bite – you'll feel more of a tick than a slam – but once hooked, they put up a surprisingly good fight for their size. What makes Walleye special here is their sheer numbers and the variety of ways you can catch them. Early morning and evening are prime times, but our guides know the deeper haunts where you can catch them all day long. The meat is incredibly flaky and mild, making them a customer favorite for shore lunch when regulations allow.

Northern Pike in Lake of the Woods are the stuff of fishing dreams – aggressive, explosive, and built like underwater missiles. These apex predators lurk in weedy bays and ambush anything that moves, from 6-inch perch to full-sized suckers. Pike here commonly run 30-36 inches, with legitimate 40+ inch fish caught regularly throughout the season. What gets anglers fired up about Pike fishing is the visual excitement – watching a 3-foot fish rocket out of the weeds to smash a topwater bait never gets old. They're most active in spring when they're shallow for spawning, and again in fall when they're bulking up for winter. Their razor-sharp teeth and acrobatic jumps keep every fight interesting, and they're surprisingly willing to bite big baits, making them perfect for anglers who want fast action and don't mind a fish with serious attitude.

Time to Book Your Spot

Lake of the Woods fishing doesn't get much better than this – prime lakeside accommodations, expert local knowledge, and two full days to really get into the rhythm of one of Canada's most renowned fisheries. The all-inclusive approach means you can focus entirely on fishing instead of worrying about meal prep, navigation, or where to find the best spots. With space for four anglers, it's perfect for a group of friends looking to make some serious fishing memories without breaking the bank individually. Our guides have been working these waters for years, and they're excited to share both their favorite spots and the techniques that consistently produce fish. Whether you're chasing your personal best Walleye or hoping to tangle with a trophy Pike, this package gives you the best shot at success. Don't wait too long to secure your dates – peak seasons fill up fast, and there's nothing worse than watching your buddies post photos from the trip you missed out on
