Hello Russ<BR>I have fished Woman for about 20 years and guided on the lake for the last three years I have found June to be a vary good time for walleyes and northerns thy should be going vary well on live bait I prefer shiner minnows on a lindy type snell or jig and minnow combination a good depth to start is around 14ft. moving shallower or deeper from there the fish will be on the rock and sand structure There is an afull lot of structure on woman and can be intimidating I believe your resort is in hunnters bay and that bay has some broductive humps and a large rock bar at the mouth of the bay that will produce fish Explore the lake it is vary beutifull and expariemnt with structure as you come on to it.Sounds like you will have quit an armada so you should be able to divide and conquer. Good luck injoy your vacation and keep your hooks sharp lure wet and line tight.<BR> Dan<BR> Lake State Taxidermy & Guide

I have fished Woman Lake. It is a great Largemouth Bass lake. Quite a few Smallmouth as well. I placed 4th in a bass tournament out there last summer. BIG fish. Also good for walleye, muskie, pike.<BR><P>------------------<BR>Adam Johnson<BR> <A HREF="http://www.adamjohnsonfishing.com" TARGET=_blank>www.adamjohnsonfishing.com</A>

I was raised on millacs lake,starting with cane poles to the steel rod era, Itwas always fun but not very table worth, AH!!!! rapela,a boat,but still cane poles and steel rods, more food but still close to shore, when the fish moved,so did we,to the hay fields!! AH!! alum boat,motor,nice rods reels, life was grand. we learned to move when the fish did, field work by day,fish by night, I thought i was hooked before,this did it,4-5 foot rollers, a coffee can to bail with,life is more beautiful. Ilearned that lake as i grew,I guided for certain co.s after earning what I called my badges. Times have changed, its time to meet new people and new ways.Thats what its all about. Nothing wrong with a new lake and adollar bet with the son in laws. at least I would like an edge over them,any more help would be helpful I would like to take ther dollar!! thanks all

I have fished Woman for about 25 years and June can be an excellent month. Some of the other posts have suggested trying the various rock piles around the lake. This is a great place to start especially for walleyes, smallmouth bass (there are some lunkers in Woman), perch and pike. Depending on how the weather goes this spring, early June could be perfect for slab crappies. This is a greatly overlooked species on Woman. Get yourself some crappie minnows and use a plain hook below a light bobber in about 2-3 feet of water near new weed growth. Lantern Bay is a great spot to start. The lake is going through a cycle the past couple of years where the northern pike population is pretty small. We've been catching tons of 'hammer handles', but I'm sure the bigger ones are around somewhere. Good luck and have a great time. While you're up there, be sure to treat the family to a boat ride over to see the homes on the 'Gold Coast'.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
