Lake of the Woods Fishing Report: Walleyes Biting Strong in June 2025
Hey folks, Artificial Lure here with your Lake of the Woods fishing report for this beautiful first day of June, 2025.
## Current Conditions
The water's warmed up nicely since our opener last month, and we're seeing some fantastic summer patterns developing. Today's weather is perfect for a day on the water with temps expected to be in the mid-70s. Sunrise was at 5:27 AM, and we'll have plenty of daylight until sunset at 9:12 PM.
## What's Biting
Walleye fishing remains excellent across the lake. Since the May 10th opener, we've seen a strong mix of sizes - from eaters to some real trophies. Remember folks, the protected slot is 19.5" to 28", with a combined walleye and sauger limit of 6 (up to 4 can be walleyes). You're allowed one trophy over 28 inches per day, but most locals are taking photos and releasing these big girls.
The post-spawn female walleyes that were sluggish during the opener have really turned on now, and they're hungry! We're also seeing good action on sauger, with some nice northern pike in the mix.
## Where To Fish
Two main patterns are producing right now:
The mud basin in 24-35 feet is holding schools of active walleyes. The triangle of deep water from Long Point east to the US/Canadian border and up to Garden Island has been particularly hot.
Structure fishing is also productive - work the tops and edges of reefs and the transition areas where rock meets mud. Keep your electronics on and be ready to move until you find active fish.
## How To Catch 'Em
Three techniques are cleaning up:
- Drifting or trolling crawler harnesses with 2-ounce bottom bouncers. Gold, pink, white and blue spinners are top colors.
- Trolling crankbaits at 2-3 mph, either with lead core or downriggers for the deeper fish.
- Jigging remains effective, especially for those who prefer a more active approach.
## Hot Spots
Four Mile Bay still has plenty of walleyes, and the Rainy River mouth continues to produce.
For structure anglers, the shorelines from Pine Island to Long Point in 12-18 feet have been consistent producers.
If you're looking for a true trophy, head to the deep mud in that triangle I mentioned between Long Point, the border, and Garden Island. The big ones are out there!
