Late Fall Fishing on Lake of the Woods - Walleye, Perch, and Pike in Crisp Conditions
Good morning, folks. It’s a crisp Monday here on the shores of Lake of the Woods, and the air is thick with that late fall chill. The sun came up at 7:20 this morning and will set at 4:42, giving us a short window to get out on the water. The forecast calls for a high near 40 degrees, with a light breeze out of the northwest—perfect for a day on the ice or a last-minute open-water run before the freeze really sets in.
The water temperature is holding steady around 42 degrees, and the fish are active, especially in 15 to 25 feet of water. That’s where most of the action’s been lately, according to the latest reports from the local guides and the Outdoor News. Walleye are the main draw, and they’re biting well, especially early in the morning and just before dark. There’s been a good mix of keeper-sized fish, with some anglers reporting limits of three or more, thanks to the new three-walleye limit that kicked in this month. Northern pike are also showing up, and the perch are big and healthy, with a daily limit of 10 fish.
If you’re chasing walleye, stick to the traditional fall spots—Pine Island, Morris Point Gap, Zippel Bay, Long Point, and Twin Islands. These areas have been producing consistently, and the fish are holding tight to the structure. For bait, live minnows and leeches are always a solid choice, but don’t overlook artificial lures. The locals are having luck with orange/chartreuse jigs, gold/orange combos, and glow white. A 6th Sense Divine Shakey Worm or a Motion Fishing jig with a Stroker Craw trailer is a killer combo right now, especially when you’re working the rocks, ledges, and stumps.
For perch, try a small jig tipped with a wax worm or a piece of minnow. They’re biting best in the shallows, especially near weed edges and drop-offs. And if you’re after northern pike, a white and gold spinnerbait or a big crankbait will get their attention.
The ice is starting to form, but it’s still thin and scattered. Most of the early ice action is happening near the shorelines and around the islands, where the water is shallower. If you’re heading out, be sure to check the ice conditions and stay close to the shore until it thickens up.
