Even though Lake of the Woods is abundant with some of the best crappie fishing in Canada, it never hurts to know a few tips and tricks to make your fishing trip even more successful. In general, you should remember that crappies’ eyes are located on the tops of their heads. This means you should keep a short length of line between your float and the bait so they will see it. In the fall, it’s a good idea to take it slower than in the spring and summer. This is because the crappies will be less active and take longer to react to your bait.

Of course, selecting the right bait makes all the difference in the world when it comes to landing the fish on your list. If you’re looking for general advice about the best way to snag a crappie, we recommend using lead jigs between ¼ and 1/8 ounce, with live minnows. However, there are multiple other baits you can use that may be just as successful. When you visit Duck Bay Lodge, you can trust our expert crappie fishing guides to help you find the right combination to achieve the best results.

Typically, spring and late summer are the best times of the year to find these anglers’ favorites. In the spring, you’ll have the most luck in shallow bays all around the lake. But when the evening weather starts to take a turn for the cooler around late August, the crappies will start to school in deeper areas. However, crappie season in Ontario is all year, so there’s never a bad time to visit us. Our experienced fishing guides will be more than happy to point out where you can have the best luck.
