Fishing on Lake of the Woods- LOW Tourism

[lakeofthewoodsmn]

Walleye fishing is very good and very consistent.  Big schools of walleyes just outside Lighthouse Gap, Morris Point Gap and in front of the fields by Zippel Bay. Anchor and jig in 24-27 feet. Use glow red and gold jigs baited with a minnow or frozen shiner. The mud flats going west have been good in front of Zippel Bay and Morris in 23-25 feet during the day, moving towards shore in 14-16 feet in the afternoon and evening hours. Some fish suspended up to 2 feet off bottom. Big numbers of fish being reported.

On the Rainy River, action continues to pick up.  Anchor in front of Timbermill Park in Baudette or Clementson Bay. 15 - 18' has been consistent. Bright colored jigs and a frozen shiner has been the key!  Consistent numbers coming in.

Up on the NW Angle, walleye are sticking to deep, cool pockets. Jig with a minnow in 25-29 feet near Oak and Little Oak Islands. Crappies in 29-34 feet near drop offs. Muskie are near structured, rocky areas.  If casting, work current areas.  If trolling, rocky points adjacent to deep water key.  For more info on lodging, guides and amenities, go to www.LakeoftheWoodsMN.com or call 218-634-1174.
