With the popularity of Lake of the Woods, and the many large resorts, our area of the river is not fished on a regular basis during the summer months. Being the only resort in the area, we do not have the amount of anglers found on Lake of the Woods. Fishing techniques for summer is fishing 'deep'. You can down rig or use deep divers. Many walleyes are caught by locals who fish this technique in summer.
Northerns are plentiful in summer.
Largest for our area is an 18 pound Northern. Sturgeon re-opens July 1st and can be a fun fish to catch. Largest sturgeon caught this year was 80 pounds, although with the new 2001 Sturgeon regulations, this size fish would have to be returned immediately. Smallmouth are also fun to catch right in the Clementson Bay starting in June. Watch our fishing reports for smallies being caught.
