Fishing Report

Caught on Lake of the Woods Lake of the Woods and the Rainy River
May 12, 2008

It was another great opener here at Lake of the Woods! Despite some chilly weather the fishing action was fast and furious. Limits of nice 16 – 19 inch walleye are being caught within an hour, and anglers report releasing several 25 – 30 inchers as well. The water temperature is at about 44 degrees and the walleye are still spawning. There’s still ice on the big lake but the Lighthouse Gap and Four Mile Bay are open. Limits are being caught in a variety of depths, anywhere from 4 to 13 feet of water. Anchored and jigging, using a frozen shiner, seems to be working the best. Over by the Morris Point Gap anglers are finding the fish in about 5 feet of water, with anchored and jigging working the best.

Up at the Northwest Angle the inlet is open and there is a clear channel to Flag and Oak Island. Resorts on the inlet are up and running and the island resorts are anxiously waiting for another great summer season to start. Remember you DO NOT need a passport to visit the Northwest Angle and Islands.
