Fishing on Lake of the Woods- LOW Tourism

[lakeofthewoodsmn]

Mix up your fishing methods this week as fish spread out. Anchoring and jigging still popular in front of Long Point, Twin Islands, Zippel Bay, Morris Point, Lighthouse Gap, West Bar on Garden Island, and the reefs of Knight and Bridges Islands in 20-26 feet. Use gold, pink, chartreuse and orange tipped with frozen shiner. Drifting with spinners and crawler harnesses doing well shallow in these same areas. Try 16-17 feet near Long Point to Graceton, and 6-15 in the Gap to Pine Island. Walleye abundant with a good mix of sauger, perch, northern, and even some sturgeon this week.

The Rainy River also doing well. Walleye biting in 15-18'. Use heavy jigs in strong currents; orange and pink with gold tipped with shiner. June is bass month so hit up bay edges and rapid throwing cranks.

Up at the NW Angle, walleye active in MN waters at Little Oak and four blocks 15 - 30' and in Ontario waters shallow along shorelines on the edge of drop offs. Jigging, spinners and cranks all catching fish.  Bass biting deep but head shallow as they prepare for spawn.  More info at www.LakeoftheWoodsMn.com.
