Crane
Lake Fishing
Join us at Voyagaire for some of the best
fishing in the Midwest. Walleye, northern pike,
bass, muskie or panfish - any of these could be
your catch of the day. Improved fish management
policies have provided impressive catches in
recent years. Spring is one of the best times to
fish the lakes of Voyageurs National Park, and
our years of experience have taught us where the
hot spots are.
Hot Fishing
Spots
In the spring the walleye will be in the
current areas. Where the Vermilion River comes into
Crane Lake, Crane
Lake Narrows, the Vermilion Gorge, Namakan Narrows, Harrison
Narrows and Voyageurs Narrows for a start.
As the water warms late June to late August the walleye
will move out to deeper water. You will then want to
fish off the reefs. There is plenty of structure in all
the lakes.
Namakan being the largest lakes is a good
choice. A detailed water depth map of Namakan is
provided with the houseboat.
Some people like to troll in Sandpoint
using deep diving rapalas; some guides have been known
to use out riggers like on the Great Lakes. This method
can produce some trophy fish.
 Crane Lake, Grassy Bay and Brown's Bay all produce
walleye. A map can be marked for fishing spots when you
arrive, to give you the most current information on
fishing.
Northern abound in Crane Lake's weedy Northwest Bay,
Hammer Bay on Namakan and Swanson Bay in Sandpoint to
name a few places.
Crappies can be caught in Crane Lake, Grassy Bay and
Namakan.
Mukooda Lake is a portage lake.
Find
it on our interactive map just north of Crane Lake. We
store a fishing boat there that is available for
rent. In an effort to keep all interior lakes of
Voyageurs National Park as pure as possible, only
artificial bait can be used at
Mukooda. Canoes can easily be portaged.
This lake has sunfish, blue gills, lake trout, large and
small mouth bass. It is a fun lake to take the kids to.
This is a deep clear lake, also fun for snorkeling.
Houseboats can be parked south of the dock to Mukooda.
