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'.

      Big Traverse Ice Free

      By LakeofthewoodsMN · Posted

      On the south end...   The big basin, otherwise known as Big Traverse Bay, is ice free.  Zippel Bay and Four Mile Bay are ice free as well.  Everything is shaping up nicely for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th. With the walleye / sauger season currently closed, most anglers are targeting sturgeon and pike.  Some sturgeon anglers are fishing at the mouth of the Rainy River, but most sturgeon are targeted in Four Mile Bay or the Rainy River.  Hence, pike are the targeted species on the south shore and various bays currently.   Pike fishing this time of year is a unique opportunity, as LOW is border water with Canada, the pike season is open year round. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn.  Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.   Four Mile Bay, Bostic Bay and Zippel Bay are all small water and boats of various sizes work well. On the Rainy River...  Great news this week as we learned sturgeon will not be placed on the endangered species list by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.     The organization had to make a decision by June 30 and listing sturgeon could have ended sturgeon fishing.  Thankfully, after looking at the many success stories across the nation, including LOW and the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing and successful sturgeon management continues.   A good week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River.  Speaking to some sturgeon aficionados, fishing will actually get even better as water temps rise.     Four Mile Bay at the mouth of the Rainy River near the Wheeler's Point Boat Ramp is still producing good numbers of fish, as are various holes along the 42 miles of navigable Rainy River from the mouth to Birchdale.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  A few spots with rotten ice, but as a rule, most of the Angle is showing off open water.  In these parts, most are looking ahead to the MN Fishing Opener.  Based on late ice fishing success, it should be a good one.

      St Cloud Fishing Reports

      Nice fish. I moved to the Sartell area last summer and just thought it was windy like this everyday up here? 🤭

      Crazy windy again today.... This is has been the norm this spring. Between the wind and the cold fronts, fishing has been more challenging for me than most years.  Panfish have been moving in and out of the shallows quite a bit. One day they are up in the slop, the next they are out relating to cabbage or the newly sprouting lilly pads.  Today eye guy and I found them in 4-5 ft of water, hanging close to any tree branches that happened to be laying in the water.  Bigger fish were liking a 1/32 head and a Bobby Garland baby shad.   Highlight of the day way this healthy 15incher
