Harris Hill Resort - Lake of the Woods

Winter Ice Fishing for Walleye: Great winter fun in Heated Ice Huts. This is Gary & Cheryl enjoying a great ice fishing expedition.

Ice Fishing and Snowmobiling are popular sports during the winter months at Harris Hill Resort. The ice often reaches 4 feet deep or more, making those areas on our frozen Lake of the Woods a great place for winter sport activities and family fun.

Snowmobiling on the frozen Lake of the Woods, plus great scenery and views.

Harris Hill Resort is right next to a main snowmobile trail that leads from the USA, to Nestor Falls, to Kenora, to different towns in Manitoba and back to the USA again. We are also nearby to "community trails" that lead into the main trails as well as neighbouring towns. Also enjoy snowmobiling on the lake and climbing rock outcroppings plus sight-seeing.

With a variety of fish species within 1 - 4 miles from Harris Hill Resort, it is an opportune area for winter ice fishing enthusiasts. These areas are quite secluded and have low pressure fishing. You won't find miles and miles of ice huts, more like 8 -10, and 3 of them belong to Harris Hill Resort for renting out to our customers, along with a comfortable house keeping cottage to return to in the evening.

Ice Fishing for Walleye landed this nice 29" Master Angler:

which are often caught on Lake of the Woods

At most times you can readily catch your limits of Walleye and Sauger, while ice fishing comfortably in your heated ice huts, or ice shacks as we Canadians call them.

Winter ice fishing produces many large fish like this 18" Sauger, which is HUGE for a Sauger. Related to the Walleye family, Saugers are fun to fish for too, all winter long.

36" Northern Pike, another Master Angler harvested during winter ice fishing, and ice fishing in comfortable heated ice huts too!

Many Northern Pike are also caught on Lake of the Woods during the winter fishing season.

Master Angler Perch at 13.75": Lured in ice fishing on Lake of the Woods

There are always alot of Perch nibbling on your bait, and as a result, there are also alot of large Perch caught here on Lake of the Woods.

Being a member of the Walleye family also, they are plentiful and fun to catch.

Black Crappie Fishing is always fun and exciting:

Driving out on the ice and fishing in the warm sun makes it a great adventure and a memorable day of fishing.

We can also snowmobile or trailer out to another area for Black Crappie, and to another area for Trout. These are scenic rides to popular areas where these species of freshwater fish are readily found.

Although we generally ice fish in warm comfortable heated ice huts, on a warm sunny day it is often preferable to actually sit outside and enjoy the warmth of the sun and take in the fresh air and the view of the lake and the Bald Eagles looking for lunch.

Drive out to your heated ice fishing hut on your ATV or snowmobile.

Winter activities and ice fishing make for an exciting, memorable winter vacation.

Our 8 ' X 12 ' Ice Huts are of wood construction with 6 ice fishing holes, windows, seats and a wall mounted LP propane heater in them.

With 6 ice fishing holes you can have three fishermen with two holes each, or up to 6 people ice fishing in this heated ice fishing shack.

For Winter Ice Fishing you are allowed two poles each, unlike fishing in summer you may only have one rod & reel.

You can have as many people in our ice huts as you are comfortable with, however these ice huts with 4 ice fishing holes is perfect for two ice fishermen.
