Fishing on Lake of the Woods- LOW Tourism

[lakeofthewoodsmn]

The reefs and deep water are producing.  Limits of walleyes the norm.  The many reefs on the west side of Big Traverse near Long Point and Arnesens have turned on.  Garden Island and Knight and Bridges still hot on north end.  Fish the tops early/late or with wave action, the rock to mud transition during the day.  The deep mud basin on Big Traverse has kicked in to high gear.  Jigging, crawler harnesses and trolling crankbaits are all producing limits.  Big fish are mixed in with eaters.  Walleyes also coming from both the Morris Point and Lighthouse Gaps.  Gold, pink and chartreuse have been strong this week.

Smallmouth bass are active both in the Rainy River and up at the NW Angle.  Target shallow boulder areas with gradual sloping banks.  Shallow diving cranks and spinners both effective.

Up at the NW Angle, the reefs are on fire.  Both on the MN side and Ontario side, big numbers of walleyes being caught.  Jigging and pulling crawler harnesses are the go to methods.  Big pike are being taken by walleye anglers on reefs as well.

Musky anglers are having good success as weed growth increases.  Good numbers of fish being taken.  Weedlines, rocky points and bays with boulders have been key.
