[Dr888]

We will fishing walleyes at Nestor falls the week of memorial day at lake of the woods and would like to try Crow lake for some trout.Has anyone fished crow that time of the year?What type of structure and techniqes would produce that time of year?How hard would it to navigate on our own if we get a good map and use our gps mapping system? Thank you

Was there last year on Memorial weekend and did good on the lake trout. Caught eleven trolling and had never been on the lake before except when it was iced over and ice fished for them. Pattern last year was just trolling a #11 Rapala. We were marking fish at about 30 ft, the Rapalas were running 10-12 ft. and they would come up on them with no problem. When we stopped for a shore lunch, we put out two rods with Cisco's on them and caught three, missed three more. Lot's of islands, humps, ridges on Crow, but if you have a good map, good GPS and good electronics you should have a great time. Hope this little bit helps. Will be there this coming weekend and hope to have the same luck as last year.

Hawker,

Where did you stay when you fished Crow?

We stayed at Musky Bay a couple years. Others did great on the Lake Trout.

Stayed at Young's Wilderness Camp on Stephens Bay west of Crow on LOTW. Took the boat out and over to Crow for a day and plan on doing the same again this year. Headed that way day after tomorrow. Can't wait to get up there again!!
