Fishing on Lake of the Woods- LOW Tourism

[lakeofthewoodsmn]

Houses are still spread out this week, most in shallow water 14-16 feet, or deep at 26-30 feet. Resorts and guides are working hard to place houses on the fish, and a lot of moving has been happening. Walleye bite has been favorable in the afternoon and evenings, but saugers will bite all day. A dead stick has been the best with plain hooks, gold, and pink/glow all with a live minnow. Jumbo perch, northerns, tulibee and eelpout mixed in.  There is now 22-25 inches of ice being fished on, and the Rainy River has 9 inches and up to 14 where trails are marked.

Those on the NW Angle are also fishing deep in 22-30 feet, also with a lot of action in the morning and evening. Houses are still placed south of Oak Island and north and west of Little Oak Island, but the last hour before dark is best in the shallow mud. Walleyes, sauger, jumbo perch.
