LOTW Report 8/27/2012

[Border View Lodge]

 


Size matters when it comes to Walleye, and Lake of the Woods has great diversity!  We have been catching many trophies and, along with that, we are catching sizes all the way down to this year’s hatch.  Great eater (16-18 inch) limits to take home and to have a freshly prepared Walleye meal, while you are here, has been the norm.

Down rigging has become more predominant for those looking for steady all day action.  We have been concentrating on the 30-31 foot depths of Big Traverse.  Bait fishing out in front of the light house gap has produced some good reports in 24 feet, while anchored and jigging.

The weather is looking great again with highs into the 80’s and lows into the 40’s.  We are excited to see how this year’s shiner run turns out, as the temps are cooling down over night.  There has already been some speculation on this year’s run, but at this point we will just call it bar talk.  The water temp is now at 69.8, so we have a ways to go.

The fall fishing is fast approaching, if you are thinking of making a trip, it is a great time to take advantage of the fall specials.

FISH ON!
