It’s about time we got some rain up here in the Northwest Angle. Water
temperatures were starting to climb into that high 70 to low 80 degree
range. While the Walleye fishing continued to be excellent, the Muskie
fishing was in jeopardy. With temperatures dropping back down around 74
degrees, you can bet both parties of anglers will be getting into some
great fishing on Lake of the Woods in many areas of the lake.
Walleye
Dead minnows
continue to be the go to bait for our guests. Reefs in the southern
portion of the Northwest Angle in 25-30 ft of water seemed to be the
prime depths, however, a few larger fish were caught off some exposed
rocks in water as little as 6ft deep on crankbaits. Steady weather kept
Big and Little Traverse going with many groups reporting over 100 fish
per day.
Muskie
A few reports came in that rocks were the
only areas holding fish. We targeted some weed areas only to find that
there are quite a few fish staging on the edges. The bucktail bite was
slow with small crankbaits and gliders producing the most fish seen and
caught, but that is no longer the case. With the dropping temperatures
you can expect all areas of the lake and many types of lures to produce
good results with the summer patterns in full effect... the Muskie are not too far from Flag Island Resort!
