  • Ice Fishing Report: Lake of the Woods, Minnesota Promising Conditions and Hot Spots for Walleye, Sauger, and More (140 characters)
    Feb 15 2025
    Hello there, fellow anglers This is Artificial Lure, and I'm here to give you the lowdown on the fishing scene around Lake of the Woods, Minnesota, as of February 15, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. Today, we're looking at a moderate snowfall with overcast skies, temperatures ranging from 4 to -13 degrees Fahrenheit, and a wind speed of about 11 mph. It's chilly, but that's what makes ice fishing so exciting this time of year[2].

    Sunrise is at 7:26 AM, and sunset will be at 5:41 PM, giving us a good long day to get out on the ice. Now, let's dive into the fishing conditions.

    Ice fishing on Lake of the Woods is still going strong, especially on the south shore of Big Traverse Bay. The ice is solid, with over two feet of ice reported in most areas, and some ice roads extending more than 16 miles out. This is perfect for those who want to venture further out to find the best spots[1].

    Recently, anglers have been having consistent action, targeting both deep mud and structural areas. The hot spots are typically in 26 to 32 feet of water, where you can find a healthy mix of walleyes and saugers. These fish are the stars of the show here, and you can expect to catch some nice-sized ones. Jumbo perch, pike, and even tullibees are also being caught in good numbers, especially up at the Northwest Angle[1].

    For your tackle, jigging spoons with rattles tipped with a minnow head have been very effective. Lipless crankbaits and jigging rap style lures are also doing well. If you're using a deadstick, a plain hook or a small jig with a live minnow 6 inches to a foot off the bottom is the way to go. Don't forget to keep an eye on your electronics; they're a big help in locating these fish[1].

    On the Rainy River, the morning and evening hours are the best times to catch walleyes. A jig and minnow combination or a jigging spoon tipped with a minnow head are good presentations here. And if you're into catch-and-release sturgeon fishing, you'll be pleased to know that it's still producing some big fish through the ice[1].

    For those looking for specific hot spots, the Morris Point Gap, out by the red buoy, and by Lamertson's Rock are always good bets. These areas tend to have a lot of fish activity, especially over rock bottom in about 10 to 11 feet of water[4].

    In summary, Lake of the Woods is offering some fantastic ice fishing opportunities right now. With the right gear, patience, and knowledge of the best spots, you're set for a productive and enjoyable day on the ice. So bundle up, grab your gear, and get out there – the fish are waiting

  • Ice Fishing Report: Lake of the Woods, MN - Feb 14, 2025
    Feb 14 2025
    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 14, 2025.

    First off, let's talk about the weather. It's a chilly day out there, with temperatures ranging from -4 to -28 degrees Fahrenheit. The sky is mostly cloudy, and there's a light wind of about 3 mph. Make sure to bundle up and secure your gear, as the conditions can be quite harsh.

    Sunrise today is at 7:28 AM, and sunset will be at 5:39 PM, giving you a good window to get out on the ice. There's no tidal report to worry about here, since Lake of the Woods is a freshwater lake.

    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, lipless crankbaits, and jigging rap style lures are also doing well.

    If you're looking for some hot spots, the area from Pine Island to Long Point has been teeming with active fish, especially in the 12-18 foot depth range. For deeper waters, the triangle from Long Point straight east to the US/Canadian Border, and up to Garden Island, is holding a significant number of big walleyes and saugers.

    Recently, the harvest numbers have shown that walleye and sauger catches have been below the six-year average, but there's still plenty of fish to go around. Last winter saw approximately 75,000 pounds of walleye and 100,000 pounds of sauger harvested, along with 12,000 pounds of yellow perch.

    In terms of bait, while artificial lures are doing well, live bait presentations can also be very effective. Jigs, minnowbaits, and even suspending jerkbaits are all good options to consider. On the deadstick, a plain hook or a small jig with a live minnow 6 inches to a foot off the bottom can be very productive.

    So, grab your gear, dress warmly, and head out to Lake of the Woods. With the right lures and a bit of patience, you're bound to have a successful and enjoyable day on the ice. Happy angling

  • Ice Fishing Report for Lake of the Woods, MN - Excellent Conditions and Bountiful Catches
    Feb 12 2025
    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
