LAKE OF THE WOODS 8/29

[Realtree]

On Lake of the Woods, recent cooler temperatures have drawn walleyes closer to shore, with more fish moving into the Lighthouse Gap and Morris Point Gap. Many anglers continue to do well by down-rigging in 32-34 feet of water, as well as by jigging around the mud flats. Check out the area north of Long Point and north of Graceton Beach for some nice walleyes. On the Rainy River, lots of nice keeper-size fish are coming from Clementson Rapids. Vita's Landing is also a hot spot for walleye action. The Northwest Angle and Islands area has been excellent for muskie action. Most anglers continue to cast, however trolling will soon be the best approach. The walleye bite remains good, with several 19- to 28-inch walleyes being taken. Oak Island, Flag Island, and Crowduck have all been great locations for walleyes.
