“Best Walleye Fishing Around”
Fabulous stay. Great location. Super nice clean comfortable cabins just steps away from Lake of the Woods. Best walleye fishing around.

“We booked next year again”
I would recommend this place to anyone. Nice cabins, excellent food, fantastic fishing. Megan and Andrew are the best hosts. We caught fish all day long for 4 straight days. Brought back our limit of walleyes and crappie. We’re booked for next year again. Will be our 4th year. Thanks Moonlite!!

Saarela’s Moonlite Bay Lodge is a family-run, boat-in operation on Little Raspberry Island near Morson, Ontario, on the Canadian side of Lake of the Woods.
We’re a smaller, personal place by design — five cabins, sheltered water close to camp, and the kind of local knowledge that turns a big, intimidating lake into a fishery you can actually read.
If you’re weighing your options, our overview of what it’s like to stay at a Lake of the Woods fishing lodge walks through how the island base works, who it suits, and why anglers keep coming back season after season.
Getting here is part of the experience. You drive to the mainland landing, leave your vehicle, and we bring you across to the island — no fly-in cost, no figuring it out alone.
That’s the appeal of boat-in fishing cabins on Lake of the Woods: a genuine wilderness feel with comfortable, fully powered cabins waiting at the dock.
Because we sit near Morson, Ontario, you also get quick access to protected bays, rocky points, and reef structure that hold fish without a long run across open water.
The fishing is multi-species and runs the whole open-water season.
Spring through fall, walleye fishing on Lake of the Woods is the reliable, all-day target that fills the cooler and the shore-lunch pan — and it’s why most groups come up.
Come September and October, musky fishing on Lake of the Woods takes over as the trophy chase, and a guided day with Drew Cohen is the fastest way to put yourself on the kind of fish that takes a decade to grow. Smallmouth bass, northern pike, and crappie round out a fishery deep enough to keep a mixed group happy all week.
Thousands of Islands provide a weather protected fishing ground with an infinite number of sandy beaches, rocky shorelines, secluded weed beds and submerged reefs.
Whatever your fishing pleasure you will have plenty of opportunity at Moonlite Bay Resort on Lake of the Woods.
Because we are on a secluded island we offer transportation to and from the island.
We have standard electric power lines running directly to our island to supply our resort. No generator hassles or noise. Camp Boats & Motors available.
Experienced fishing guides are available to make sure that your time on the water is used to its full potential. Not only will they direct you to the most productive fishing areas for the type of fish you prefer, but they will also clean your catch and prepare a traditional Canadian shore lunch for you and your group.
