  • 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, Minnesota, as of February 12, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the conditions. The weather has been quite favorable for ice fishing, with temperatures cold enough to maintain a solid ice cover. As of now, the ice conditions are excellent, with many areas reporting over two feet of ice, allowing for the use of 1-ton vehicles on the ice roads[4].

    For those planning to head out, sunrise today is at around 7:04 AM, and sunset will be at about 5:22 PM. This gives you a good window to get out on the ice and catch some fish.

    Fish activity has been very good across the lake. Anglers have been reporting consistent action, particularly in the 26-32 feet depth range on the South Shore. This area has been a hotspot, with many resorts moving their fish houses to stay on top of the schools of walleyes and saugers[4].

    The catch has been a healthy mix of walleyes, saugers, jumbo perch, northern pike, tullibees, and even the occasional eelpout and sturgeon. The combined limit for walleyes and saugers is six fish, with up to four being walleyes, and all walleyes between 19.5 and 28 inches must be released. You can keep one walleye over 28 inches per day if you're lucky enough to catch one[4].

    When it comes to lures and bait, gold, glow red, glow white, Wonder bread, pink, chartreuse, and orange have been performing well. For walleyes and saugers, using leeches and crawlers with a hammered gold spinner is a great combination. If you're targeting northern pike, tip-ups and spearing houses with bait like suckers or shiners can be very effective[3][4].

    Some of the best spots to try your luck include the Morris Point Gap, out by the red buoy, and by Lamertson's Rock on the South Shore. These areas have rock bottoms and are known for producing good catches in 10-11 feet of water. Up at the Northwest Angle, resorts have spread out their fish houses across various areas, targeting both structure and deeper mud flats[3].

    In summary, Lake of the Woods is offering some fantastic ice fishing opportunities right now. With the right gear, bait, and knowledge of the hotspots, you're set for a great day on the ice. So pack up your gear, check the latest ice road conditions, and get ready to reel in some big ones.

    Tight lines, and see you on the ice
