Friendly Fishing

The Lake of the Woods region is a world class fishery offering an excellent variety of fresh water fish and many areas in which to catch them. Anglers can experience fishing for Muskie, Northern Pike, Yellow Perch, Crappie, Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Walleye and Lake Trout in some of the most untouched, beautiful surroundings found anywhere today.

Young and old can enjoy the pleasure of fishing in whatever form they choose, sport fishing or conservation fishing. For conservation reasons, fishing laws limit the number of fish an angler may catch or possess. The number depends on the type of licence the angler holds, the fish species, where the fish is caught and, in some cases, the size of the fish.

The Sport Fishing Licence Tag is for anglers who wish to have full catch and possession fishing privileges. For limits and regulations in Zone 5, please see the realted links to the right.

If you prefer catch and release practices, consider the Conservation Fishing Licence Tag. With a Conservation Fishing Licence Tag accompanying the Outdoors Card, the angler observes a catch and possession limit that is lower (in most cases) than that of sport fishing licence tag holder.
