Lake of the Woods is still ice-free. There are a few stocked rainbow trout still around.
Look for large brown trout cruising the shallows looking for a place to spawn and also looking to eat spawning kokanee.
Fishing for yellow perch will be your best bet. The lake is dominated by stunted yellow perch. Very small bait and hooks will catch these fish. Even a few crappie are showing up in the catch.
