Walleye Bonanza on Lake of the Woods - Fantastic Fishing Conditions for a Sunny Midwest Weekend
It's a beautiful day to be out on the water here at Lake of the Woods, Minnesota As we head into the weekend, the fishing conditions are looking fantastic. Today, June 14th, we're expecting a bright and sunny day with temperatures in the mid-70s to low 80s. The sunrise was at about 5:30 AM, and we're looking forward to a sunset around 9:00 PM. The National Weather Service doesn't mention tides affecting the lake, so we can focus on the typical Minnesota weather patterns.
The fishing has been dynamite lately. Walleyes and saugers are biting like crazy, with many anglers reporting excellent catches. The jig bite remains strong, but some folks are starting to switch to spinners with great results. One of the most effective techniques right now is drifting or trolling crawler harnesses, which are catching a lot of fish. Crawler harnesses on a two-ounce bottom bouncer with a two-snelled spinner are particularly effective in the mid-lake basin flats.
As for the fish themselves, we're seeing a nice mix of sizes. Small fish, eaters, protected slot walleyes, and trophy walleyes are all biting. Remember, the protected slot here is 19.5 inches to 28.0 inches, and you can keep one walleye over 28 inches per day. Sturgeon fishing is also great in the Rainy River, although that season is currently closed.
If you're looking for hot spots, the south shore of Lake of the Woods is a great place to start. The Northwest Angle is also producing some fantastic catches, with plenty of structure like points and neckdown areas where fish like to congregate. The Rainy River, while not currently open for sturgeon, is always a great spot for walleyes during the spring season.
For lures, jigs with a minnow or leech are still a favorite, especially near structure. Crankbaits and spinners with crawlers or minnows are also working well. If you're looking for a simple yet effective setup, a jig with a chartreuse or orange front and a gold back is hard to beat.
