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'.
