We are planning a family fall trip to the Cass Lake area and are considering Oak Haven Resort. They have a new, large cabin that looks pretty nice. Anyone have any opinions on the resort? Also, I see that the resort is on the river. I would be concerned about access into Cass via Andrusia. I have a larger boat with windshields (1900 IFS). Will it get through the entrances and under any bridges from there to Cass? How is the fishing on the river at that time of year? Going for it all, anything from sunfish to walleyes to muskies. Thanks in advance.

Getting from Andrusia to Cass in the fall is dependent on the water levels... tough with your boat last fall, I have a 205 Triton and had zero chance. Many falls are O.K. but you need to take it slow and trim your motor up. We are not going into the summer with high water levels... they are already at July's level... we need rain! Your 19' will make it under the bridge no problem... it's the water under you that you need to worry about. I know someone with a 21' gran Baron and they can go between Cass and Andrusia if the level stays up.

Never fished the river up there. Wolf and ANdrusia can both be good, though I spend 95% of my time on Cass. I'm sure the scenery will be spectacular in the fall on the river... we enjoy the ride from Cass to Wolf at least once a year... (about 45 minutes).

Have fun and enjoy your vacation and the area.

Good Luck!

I've stayed at Oak Haven a couple times. The first time we camped out in tents, and the second time we had one of the smaller cabins. The resort is quiet, and the owners are very nice people. It's kind of fun staying on the river too, you see a lot of wildlife while you're motoring slowly between lakes (the river is a no-wake zone).

Thanks for the replies gentlemen. Still want to spend my time on Cass as well, since I have fished it before, so at least I got some time to decide.

Hey I'm heading up to Oak Haven Resort this weekend staying from Friday untill Sunday. I'm going to be renting one of their boats out and heading out to a few lakes. I've never been up to the area but how will I be accessing the lakes? Will i be accesing them through the river? Anyhow what's the best areas to fish for some Crappies, Perch, and Walleyes? And what should i use? I'm not to big of a walleye eater as I would much rather prefer Crappies over Walleye but I wouldn't mind just hooking a few. Any help would be great!!! Thank you guys!

You'll be accessing the lakes through the Mississippi River. For panfish, head upriver to Wolf. We did OK on eyes in Andrusia near the outlet to Cass, or at the inlet from Wolf. We never did all that great though, and we were never there this time of year. I'd talk to the owners, they'll give you a map and try to point you in the right direction.

      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.

      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
