  • Résumé

  • Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the latest fishing report for Lake of the Woods in Minnesota, as of February 9, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, it's a chilly day out there with temperatures ranging from -12 to -22 degrees Celsius. We're expecting light snow late in the day, along with mostly cloudy conditions. The wind is moderate, at about 12 km/h, so make sure to bundle up and secure your gear.

    Sunrise today is at 7:36 AM, and sunset will be at 5:31 PM, giving you a good window to get out on the ice. Since Lake of the Woods is a large, inland lake, we don't have to worry about tidal reports, but the ice conditions are excellent right now.

    The ice fishing on Lake of the Woods has been fantastic lately. Anglers have been reporting good success, particularly in areas 3.5 to 4 miles north of Pine Island. The fishing depth has been ranging from 26 to 29 feet, which is ideal for catching a variety of species like walleye, sauger, and yellow perch.

    For lures, flashing and rattling lures have been particularly effective. Colors like gold, pink, white, blue, and wonderbread patterns are getting a lot of attention from the fish. A combination of jigging rods paired with deadstick setups has been the most productive method, maximizing your chances of attracting fish. Jigging spoons with rattles tipped with a minnow head, as well as lipless crankbaits and jigging rap style lures, are also doing well.

    If you're looking for hot spots, I recommend checking out the areas around Pine Island and the northern parts of the lake. These regions have been producing consistent catches of walleye and sauger. Another good spot is near the Canadian border, where the structure of the lake bed can attract a variety of fish species.

    In terms of fish activity, walleyes and saugers have been the main targets, with many anglers catching fish in the 14-inch range, weighing slightly over a pound. Yellow perch are also plentiful and can be caught using worms or small jigs. Northern pike, though less common in these depths, can still be encountered, especially if you're using live bait or suspending jerkbaits.

    To sum it up, Lake of the Woods is offering some of the best ice fishing conditions right now. With the right gear, lures, and knowledge of the hot spots, you're set for a successful day on the ice. Stay warm, and tight lines
