For more than a decade, LYON SLEEPERS has been putting fishermen in contact with fish.  If you're looking for the fast Walleye runs of December and March or the steady Sauger action in mid-winter, we make sure you're there.  The jumbo Perch of January and February are no problem while those with a taste for the pole bending bonanza of big Burbot will not be disappointed.  Our 80% guest return rate reflects our commitment- we put you where you want to be.
 

 
 


LYON SLEEPERS stresses mobility, the key ingredient in any Lake of the Woods fishing trip.  Satellite houses are shifted daily to locate schools of fish while sleepers, uniquely designed for easy movement, follow the successful patterns.  Remember, Lake of the Woods, has a combined Walleye and Sauger limit of 8 fish.

 
 


Safety and service are as much a part of the LYON SLEEPERS experience as the fishing.  Backup propane heaters and dependable transport  equipment all combine to make your trip worry free.

Assistance and advice from a reliable, lake savvy staff about fishing, fish-cleaning, or any other sleeper related activity are always available.  LYON SLEEPERS wants to make your ice fishing vacation a memorable one.

 
 


LYON SLEEPERS sets their fish houses along the southern shore of Lake of the Woods, usually between Pine Island and Graceton Beach.  Exact locations are dependent on fish movement and weather conditions.  Sauger, Walleye and Perch are consistently caught in this area with the occasional Northern Pike and Sturgeon showing up for added excitement.  Eelpout are also quite common and generally bite best at night.

Tackle should be light action, with soft-tipped jigging poles and 4-6 lb. test line working best.  Small (1/4 oz. or less) jigs, plain hooks, or jigging spoons are the most effective terminal tackle.  A depth finder (e.g. Vexilar) is also a real plus for fishing all vertical levels of the basin.
