Lake of the Woods Fishing Report

The summer fishing season is upon us and the Walleye are biting! The fish are still in the shallow water between 12-15 feet on the rocks and reef areas. The anglers are using minnows or crawlers along the windy sides of the Northwest Angle and Island area. The Northern are shallow in the bays--and are biting on small spinners, spoons, and small mepps lures. The trees are budding out and the sun is shining! The Pelicans, Eagles, and Loons have returned to make your day on the water a unique experience.
