Fishing on Lake of the Woods- LOW Tourism

[lakeofthewoodsmn]

Fishing continues strong this week on both the lake and river. As water temps continue to cool, walleye are becoming more active following the food source. Plenty of eaters and fish to fill limits on the lake. Anchor and jig in 18-24 feet at Lighthouse Gap, 4 Mile Bay, or Long Point. Light colors such as white and glow have been best tipped with a frozen shiner.

On the Rainy River, the shiners and walleye continue their journey upstream. Fish are on from the Gap to Birchdale; hot spots including the Airport and Frontier landing. Anchor and jig with a gold spinner on a bottom bouncer or pink jigs tipped with live minnows. Try 12-16 feet or 19-21. Reportedly, the best bite has been just before dark, but fish have been on all day.

Up at the NW Angle, walleyes are grouped together in neck down areas in 25 - 30', big numbers being caught.  Also crappies, jumbo perch, saugers, muskies and pike, all very active.  A great time of year.  For more info, on fall fishing or ice fishing, www.LakeoftheWoodsMN.com.
