  • Bountiful Fishing at Lake of the Woods: Walleye, Sauger, and More Await as Deer Season Arrives

    Bountiful Fishing at Lake of the Woods: Walleye, Sauger, and More Await as Deer Season Arrives
    Nov 23 2024
    As of November 23, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake of the Woods in Minnesota is thriving despite the onset of deer hunting season. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Sunrise/Sunset
    The weather forecast for the next couple of weeks looks favorable, with unseasonably warm temperatures that are keeping the fish active. Today, expect a sunrise around 7:30 AM and a sunset at about 4:30 PM.

    ### Fish Activity
    The walleye and sauger bite remains excellent across the lake. On the south end of Lake of the Woods, anglers are finding success in depths of 22-28 feet of water. Water temperatures are dropping, which has intensified the bite as the fish become more active with the cooling waters[1][3][5].

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    Vertical jigging with live or frozen emerald shiners is the most effective method right now. Some anglers are also having success trolling crankbaits to cover more ground and find fish. For jig colors, gold, glow white, glow red, chartreuse, orange, or pink are highly recommended, with a gold jig paired with any of these colors being a winning combination[1][2][5].

    ### Hot Spots
    - **South Shore:** Focus on areas in 22-28 feet of water. The dropping water temperatures have made this depth particularly productive for walleyes and saugers.
    - **Northwest Angle:** Points, neck-down areas with current, shoreline breaks, and transition zones from rock to mud are all productive locations. This area is traditionally a mixed bag, with walleyes, pike, jumbo perch, and crappies being caught. A jig and minnow is the most effective presentation here[1][3][5].

    ### Additional Notes
    Sturgeon fishing remains strong, especially in the Rainy River, where good numbers of shiners are present. Catch-and-release sturgeon fishing is open until the "keep season" starts on April 24th. Muskie fishing is also excellent, with both casting and trolling effective methods amongst the islands[1][3][5].

    Overall, if you're not out deer hunting, now is a great time to take advantage of the excellent fall fishing at Lake of the Woods before the ice forms.

  • Fall Fishing Frenzy on Lake of the Woods: Reel in Walleye and Sauger Success

    Fall Fishing Frenzy on Lake of the Woods: Reel in Walleye and Sauger Success
    Nov 22 2024
    As of November 22, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake of the Woods in Minnesota is still thriving despite the colder weather. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Sunrise/Sunset
    Today, expect partly cloudy skies with a high of around 40°F and a low of 25°F. Sunrise is at 7:24 AM, and sunset will be at 4:34 PM. The weather remains favorable for fall fishing.

    ### Water Conditions
    The water temperatures are in the low to mid-50s, which is ideal for active walleye and sauger bites. There are no significant tidal changes to worry about on Lake of the Woods.

    ### Fish Activity
    Walleye and sauger fishing remains excellent, especially on the south shore. Anglers are catching a good number of fish at various depths, but the sweet spot is consistently around 18 to 27 feet of water. The cooling waters have intensified the jigging action, and schools of walleyes and saugers are being found over deep muddy and sand to mud transition areas.

    ### Best Lures and Bait
    For the best results, use vertical jigging with frozen or live emerald shiners. Jig colors such as gold, gold/glow white, gold/chartreuse, gold/orange, and gold/pink are proving to be highly effective. Some anglers are also having success with trolling crankbaits, especially in the morning and evening hours.

    ### Hot Spots
    - The south shore of Lake of the Woods is a hotspot, particularly around structures and transition areas from rock to mud.
    - The Rainy River is also producing nice walleyes, especially in areas throughout Four Mile Bay.
    - Up at the NW Angle, traditional areas with structure like points, neck down areas with current, and shoreline breaks are good spots to try.

    ### Recent Catches
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching limits of walleyes and saugers, with a mix of smaller fish and some larger ones. The fish are active, and using the right lures and bait is key to a successful day.

    Get out there and enjoy the fall fishing on Lake of the Woods – it’s prime time

    ### Hot Spots
    - The south shore of Lake of the Woods is a hotspot, particularly around structures and transition areas from rock to mud. Utilizing sonar technology can help locate schools of walleyes and saugers in these areas[1][3].
    - Four Mile Bay is also holding some nice walleyes as they make their way in from the lake. Focus on the edges of the current and channel breaks[3].
    - Up at the NW Angle, points, neck-down areas with some current, and transition areas from rock to mud are good spots to target walleyes[3].

    ### Tidal Report
    Lake of the Woods is a freshwater lake, so there are no tidal changes to consider.

    ### Recent Catches
    Yesterday, anglers reported catching a mix of small and larger walleyes, along with saugers. The fish are active due to the cooler water temperatures, which are now in the low to mid-50s[1][3][5].

    Overall, it's a great time to be on Lake of the Woods, with plenty of fish to be caught. Just remember to dress warmly and take advantage of the excellent fall fishing conditions.
