Lake of the Woods MN Fishing Report
Excellent walleye fishing continues. A mix of spinners with crawlers and downrigging with crankbaits successful. When the wind is right spinners are deadly. 32-34 feet of water in Big and Little Traverse Bays holding big schools of roaming walleyes. Good colors to start with are chartreuse, pink, and gold. Fall fishing patterns will be starting soon with walleyes moving more shallow and shiners running up the Rainy River.
On the Rainy River, sturgeon fishing “keep season” is open until Sept 30. Weed and river edges holding all kinds of fish. Walleyes, smallmouth bass, sturgeon, pike, crappies, and perch caught on river this past week.
Up at the NW Angle… In MN, walleyes are being caught in 21-23 feet. Bottom bouncers with a crawler harness working well on both sides of the border. Perch are on fire on top of reefs. Nice muskies boated this week with increased activity as fall approaches. Crappie fishing picking up as well.
