Early Ice Bite: Walleye, Sauger, and Jumbo Perch Hitting Hard on Lake of the Woods
Good morning, folks. It’s Thursday, November 20th, and the air’s got that crisp bite only Lake of the Woods knows how to deliver this time of year. Sunrise was at 7:31 AM, and sunset will be at 4:49 PM, so you’ve got a short window to get out there and make it count. The weather’s holding steady—mostly cloudy, with temps hovering around 38 degrees, and a light breeze out of the northwest. No tides to speak of up here, but the water’s calm, and that’s what matters for the early ice anglers.
The water temperature’s dropped to about 42 degrees, and the fish are active, especially in 15 to 25 feet of water. The best action’s been walleye, sauger, and jumbo perch, with some anglers reporting solid catches right off the bat. Midwest Outdoors was out with the crew at Arnesen’s Rocky Point Resort, and they’re seeing walleye and sauger biting well through the ice, along with some big perch. The locals are saying the bite is strong, and if you’re out there, you’re not coming home empty-handed.
For lures, the go-to’s are small jigs tipped with minnows or wax worms. Flutter spoons like Demons and Slender Spoons are working well, especially in the shallows. If you’re after walleye, try a 1/8-ounce jig with a minnow head, and for perch, go with a smaller jig and a wax worm. The colors that are hot right now are firetiger, orange glow, and chartreuse combos. For bait, live minnows and wax worms are the ticket, and don’t be afraid to mix it up if the fish are being picky.
Hot spots to check out are the areas around Arnesen’s Rocky Point Resort and the shallows near the marina. These spots have been producing some of the best action, and the fish are biting well. If you’re looking for a little adventure, head out to the deeper holes in 15 to 25 feet of water, where the walleye and sauger are staging up.
