06-03-20 Lake of the Woods Fishing Report Fishing has remained great throughout the lake. Fish have been in a variety of depths, finding them as shallow as 8 feet on top of structure, and as deep as 35′ out in the mud, so it is a great time of year to catch fish any way you prefer, weather it’s jigging, pulling spinners,…
05-29-20 Lake of the Woods Fishing Report It has been a very good spring for both numbers of fish and quality. Most people are still jigging with frozen shiners, but some are starting to pull spinners with crawlers. Most people fishing the west side of the lake are finding walleyes in the 8-15 foot range, whereas the East side of the lake…
05-19-20 Lake of the Woods Fishing Report Sunday was a productive day for Austin, finding fish schooled up off of mid-lake structure. Slowly driving around, looking for fish with electronics, and then anchoring up and vertically jigging was by far the most productive strategy. Most of the fish were in 26 feet of water. Gold and blue jigs, with frozen shiners, were…
05-17-20 Lake of the Woods Fishing Report Our owner, Nick, was lucky enough to get out on the lake with his family this weekend. Their best fishing was in 13 feet of water near Elm Point. All of the fish were caught on jigs and minnows. Live chubs seemed to produce better than frozen shiners. They had better luck moving around, rather…
05-13-20 Lake of the Woods Fishing Report Two of our mangers, Austin and Brent, got out after work for a couple hours and were able to bring a limit of fish home, and also got a bonus 30″. Anchored up and vertically jigging, with frozen shiners in 25 feet off of a rock reef, was the most productive technique. Using electronics to…
05-11-20 Lake of the Woods Fishing Report Fishing was good at the NorthWest Angle. Green or Orange jigs with shiners worked best in 16 to 18 feet of water. Water temp is still mid 30’s-40’s in most places, so expect fish to move shallower as the water warms.
05-04-20 Lake of the Woods Fishing Report Fishing Manager, Austin, was out fishing for sturgeon over the weekend. Saturday was better than Sunday, but overall both days were good, landing several fish over 54″ each day (The biggest being 59″). Started up at the gap for a couple hours, but the best luck came further down river. Bring lots of crawlers, the…
03-23-20 Lake of the Woods Fishing Report Pike: The fish have really moved in now. The best action was in two feet of water (5′ including ice). Most of the fish were nicely sized. Three people, including our fishing manager Austin, caught four fish between 37″ and 40″. They also brought in many smaller fish, making for a good day of fishing. …
03-18-20 Lake of the Woods Fishing Report Big Walleye are starting to move into shallower water on the south end of LOTW. Spend time in 16 to 18 feet of water for best results. Fishing just off of any structure has been producing decent fish. Expect this trend to continue for the coming week. Make sure you stop in to check out…
