On the south end… A very good week of walleye fishing with good numbers of fish being caught by charter boats and smaller private boats.
As is the norm this time of year, a jig and frozen emerald shiner was the go to presentation for walleyes. Most boats are anchored up and vertically jigging. The best jig colors varied but gold/glow white, gold/pink/glow white and gold/orange were great color combinations.
Jumbo perch, pike and a few crappies in the mix with walleyes and saugers.
On the Rainy River… The best bite on the river for walleyes has been morning and evening using a jig and minnow. With heavy flow from local rain, current breaks have been effective.
Up at the NW Angle… A great week of fishing amongst the island area of Lake of the Woods. Various fronts coming through as well as various bug hatches throughout the summer may affect fishing, but there are always fish biting somewhere in these parts.
The goto presentation is a jig and minnow. Pulling spinners with shiners or crawlers and trolling crankbaits also catching walleyes, especially when they are spread out or scattered. Crankbait colors of shiny gold and pink UV firetiger were effective this week.
