Canada Bass Fishing on Lake of the Woods

Near Morson, fishermen mostly fish for smallmouth bass on Lake of the Woods Bass concentrate around shoreline rocks and points as well as offshore shoals, often in deep water. Crayfish, minnows, hellgrammites, and leeches are popular baits. Small, deep-diving plugs and lures, as well as surface lures (in early morning and evening) are effective. But soft plastic lures in the form of crayfish imitations, twister tails and small worms or tubes are among the best smallmouth baits. These are often fished deep, in combination with a jig.
