Fishing on Lake of the Woods- LOW Tourism

[lakeofthewoodsmn]

Fishing has been hot on all parts of the lake all day long! Mornings and evenings have been active with both slot fish and eater fish along shore lines as they move out deep for the day.  Drift or troll the sand/shore line with gold crankbaits or a spinners with a crawler or leech in 7 - 10'.  Move deeper as the day goes on, currently the best bite is 20-25 feet of water. Rocky areas and reefs are the go to spot jigging with a minnow on an orange/gold jig. Try the West or East banks of Garden Island.  Also fish being caught in 27' in front of Morris Point gap.

Still a strong current on the Rainy River, but water conditions are returning to normal. Bass are active in the river, hanging out around loose boulders, weed growth, at the mouths of the river and bay areas.

Up on the NW Angle, walleye are staying over reef areas. 22-24 feet is ideal jigging or using spinners near shore. The bass bite has been active in shallow sandy areas. Shallow diving crankbaits will do the trick.  Musky season is open and they are in the bays and active.  For more information and the latest updates check out facebook.com/lakeofthewoodsMN or our website at lakeofthewoodsmn.com.  Good fishing!
