Lake of the Woods MN Fishing Report
Walleyes
of all sizes still being caught. Trophies being caught daily. Pulling
spinners and jigging a crawler working well during lower light,
crankbaits effective all day in the mud. 24 -32 feet. Reefs to the west
producing lots of good fish. Some struggling to find saugers but others
have found them schooled up in good numbers. Chartreuse, pink, UV colors
working good.
On the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing “keep season” is open until Sept 30. Pike
and smallies are being found in tributaries into Rainy River. Weed
edges holding a variety of fish in back bays and on the river itself.
Up at the NW Angle… On
the Minnesota side, spinners and crawler harnesses are still the
preferred method of walleye fishing, with the hot colors being
pink/gold, orange/gold and orange/chartreuse. Walleye are being caught
off of structure scattered in the mud between 20-30 feet. Down riggers
and deep running crankbaits have also been productive. Canadian
walleye are being caught in channels off of islands and along reefs in
18-25 feet of water. Both bottom bouncers with a crawler harness and a
jig with minnow or shiner have both been successful. Muskies favoring rocks over weeds right now with some 50" + fish being caught. A complete list of lodging, packages, guides and fishing info available at
