Fishing on Lake of the Woods- LOW Tourism

[lakeofthewoodsmn]

Fishing remains good, better in some areas than others.  A mix of walleyes and saugers with jumbo perch, eelpout and tulibees in the mix.  Action seems to be better near reefs.  Some houses hitting morning bite, others great afternoon. Electronics are a big help. Reefs still good 26-32.  Jigging spoon tipped with minnow head or tail section in glow colors or gold.  Fish spread out on mud flats.  Bite is 16-20 or 24-31'. Monster pike season is upon us and the fish are hungry! 6-8 feet best with sucker minnows on tip ups set 1/2 of depth.

The Rainy River gearing up for pre-spawn. Fishing still best towards mouth of river mornings and evenings. Gold, chartreuse and red best colors tipped with live minnow. Emerald shiners a plenty in the river!

Up at the NW Angle, walleye, sauger, pike, and perch all active in 24-29 feet. Use gold, orange, and glow tipped with minnow head or live shiner. Transitions of mud and reefs the best.  Crappies active in Ontario waters.  Permanent fish houses out until March 31st.  Walleye season open until April 14th.  More info at www.LakeoftheWoodsMN.com
