THE LAKE OF THE WOODS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLACE TO GO FISHING IN MINNESOTA. IT IS SO VAST, IT IS THE SECOND LARGEST LAKE IN THE UNITED STATES. THE POTENTIAL TO CATCH A TROPHY SIZED FISH IS VERY POSSIBLE.
    THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT LARGE FIESTY FISH IN THE LAKE OF THE WOODS. THERE ARE THE WILD FIGHTING WALLEYE, YELLOW PERCH, CRAPPIE, HUGE FIGHTING MUSKY,  LARGE  FIESTY NORTHERN PIKE, AND THE KING OF ALL, THE LAKE STURGEON WHICH CAN WEIGH OVER ONE HUNDRED POUNDS. 
    THE WALLEYE IS MY FAVORITE AND PROBABLY THE BEST FOR EATING. THEY ARE FUN TO CATCH AS THEY ARE FIGHTERS AND SOME CAN GET HUGE. PROBABLY THE BEST PLACE TO CATCH WALLEYE IS THE RAINY RIVER. 
   SPRING TIME IS FANTASTIC WALLEYE FISHING AS THEY ARE PREPARING TO SPAWN AND THEY ARE VERY HUNGRY.
MUSKY FISHING STARTS IN JUNE. THEY LOVE TO PROWL AROUND IN SHALLOW BAY AREAS WITH LOTS OF WEEDS 
TO HIDE UNDER WHICH WOULD BE MUCH MORE ACCESSIBLE WITH A FISHING KAYAK. THESE FISH CAN GET HUGE AND THEY ARE ALSO FIGHTERS. REMEMBER, THEY ARE CATCH AND RELEASE AFTER A NICE PICTURE, OF COURSE.
   NORTHERN PIKE IS ANOTHER HUGE FISH AND THEY LOVE TO PUT ON A WILD BATTLE LEAPING THROUGH THE AIR. 
 SPRING TIME IS THE BEST TIME TO CATCH THESE TOOTHY CREATURES.  THEY ARE PREPARING TO SPAWN, WHICH MAKES THEM VERY AGGRESSIVE AND VERY HUNGRY.
  THE BIGGEST MONSTERS IN THE LAKE OF THE WOODS ARE THE LAKE STURGEON. THEY CAN GET TO WEIGH OVER ONE HUNDRED POUNDS. STURGEONS LIVE IN THE RAINY RIVER, SO THE BEST PLACE TO FISH FOR THEM IS AT THE MOUTH OF THE RIVER.
  THERE IS PLENTY OF EXHILIRATING EXCITEMENT TO BE HAD FISHING ON THE LAKE OF THE WOODS AND YOU CAN EASILY BRING HOME A TROPHY-SIZED FISH.
