Info On Woody's Resort

[Bureaucrat]

I know I should just call, but by the time business hours roll around, I dive into the whirlwind of the workday and keep forgetting.

Does anyone know if Woody's has a bar/restaurant? Has anyone ever iced fished outta their houses? If so, any details on the experience?

Years ago we did a rental on LOW. It was one where you were taken out and picked up each day. Well, by the time we got on the water, we missed half the morning bite, and left in the middle of the afternoon bite. Very frustrating. I get it, but its not my kind of trip.

When I was up to Rainy in August, Woody's Bar and Restaurant were closed and for sale. I think he is still renting the condo's out and doing guiding. I am not sure what he is doing this winter.

Beaucrat: there are resorts on LOW where you can drive yourself, come and go as you wish. Riverbend, Borderviewe and Adrians are all on the south shore. I agree never liked to leave the lake before sundown, and always liked being set up by sunrise

There are tons of options on LOW. I've spent a lot of time up there over the years. It's just not the lake for me. Looking like I may not come up next week now. Haven't decided just yet, but it's getting bleak. Catching a lot of flack for being at thanksgiving. I'm a little worried about finding any organized help on rainy (bait shop, access, decent place to stay etc).

Never been there yet.

Woody is still in business. Yes, Woody had the bar rented out and at this time, or a month or so ago it was closed, not sure if it is open at this time.

I have fished out of Woody's but never used his rentals, I always use a portable.

Woody has plenty of Condo rooms for rentals.

There is a bar in Rainer, 1 block up from Woody's and a restraint 2 blocks up the street. Smaller bait shop at the gas station on the hwy right by town. Supper club also. Not sure o9n the hours of the café and the bar is a muni.

I will say that Woody keeps his customer on fish. I have been going there for close to 6 years both summer and ice, always have great fishing.

Word on the street is that he went bankrupt. I think the guiding business is still going, but I don't believe that the resort is open. Again this is what I heard no first hand info.

Are there plowed roads on the lake going out of Rainer and are there Crappies out there?

[uffdapete]

Nothing plowed out of Ranier. There is a road plowed out from the old Rainy Lake Marina just west of Bowman's Landing. Am guessing you can drive out of Bowman's now too but that might be changing in the next 12-24 hrs with the snow and wind forecasted. Safest to stay on the plowed roads on Rainy due to unpredictability of ice due to current. Yes there are crappies but they're tough to locate and usually caught incidentally.

Woody still have rooms for rent for his customers. How do these rumors get started? Yes, Woody is also still guiding.

I believe the bar closed for a short term or maybe longer as Woody had that rented out to another guy that is running it.

Woody has been on an awesome crappie bite and some he slabs ta boot.

For what it cost to stay in a fishhouse on other lakes we offer guiding and deluxe lodging. For lodging guests with their own gear we are happy to mark up your map that will get you on fish or you can hire a guide for a day or half a day !!
