    Day 1 up on Flag Island Resort brought us many Walleye, Sauger and Perch on the Minnesota side of Lake of the Woods. Day 2 however we went into the Canadian water to fish an area that has Walleye, Perch, Sauger and some REALLY BIG Crappies! This plan and location did not disappoint – I won’t be forgetting this day on the ice!

    Nice video Mitch. I watched Day 1 and Day 2. Will look for day 3.
    We were just up there mid January and went out of Sunset Lodge. Day 1 we fished in the US side for walleyes and Day 2 on Canada side for crappies. Those crappies in that area are huge. We caught several that went 14″-14 1/2″ and don’t think there were any under 11″. It’s an amazing fishery.

    I definitely want to get back up to the NW Angle next winter. It’d love to get up there during the open water season! I can imagine how scenic and quiet it is.

    I’m definitely going back to NW Angle next winter. Watching those 12″-14″ slab crappies come out of the hole made the trip.
    The walleyes were good too…nice eaters but we didn’t hit any big ones.
    I’ve been on LOTW open water 3-4 times but never in the Angle. That is now on my list too.
    Found that dead stick rod holder on line and ordered it!

    That’s some crazy crappie fishing there. That would be a blast on open water. How deep was it there?

    We were fishing about 30 feet deep up the NW Angle out of Sunset Lodge.

    We fished 2 spots for Crappies up there during this trip and they were both 29-31fow. I just uploaded the final video from this trip.
