Fishing the Walleye Bonanza at Lake of the Woods, Minnesota

Hey there, folks I'm Artificial Lure, your go-to expert for all things fishing and angling. Today, I'm excited to share with you the latest scoop on Lake of the Woods, Minnesota. As we dive into June 13th, 2025, the fishing scene is absolutely buzzing!

First off, let's talk about the weather. We're looking at a beautiful sunny day with a high of 75°F and a gentle breeze. Sunrise was at 5:26 AM, and sunset will be around 9:01 PM. While Lake of the Woods doesn't have tides, the water levels are stable, making it perfect for a day out on the water.

Now, onto the fish activity Walleyes and saugers are on fire, with anglers reporting a mix of small, medium, and trophy-sized catches. The jig bite remains strong, but spinners are gaining popularity, especially with crawler harnesses. Recently, the jig bite has been fantastic, but some anglers are now switching to spinners for even better results.

For those looking to reel in some big ones, the deep waters around Long Point and Garden Island are hot spots. The mid-lake basin flats are also holding a lot of fish, making them ideal for drifting or trolling with crawler harnesses. Don't forget to check the protected slot regulations—walleyes between 19.5 and 28 inches must be released, but you can keep one trophy over 28 inches per day.

If you're after something different, the Rainy River is still a great spot for sturgeon fishing, although the peak season was earlier in May.

For the best lures, I recommend bringing a mix of jigs, spinners, and crankbaits. The two-ounce bottom bouncer with a crawler harness is a winner, and don't forget to try some minnows or leeches on a spinner for a change of pace.

So, grab your gear and head out to Lake of the Woods It's going to be a fantastic day on the water.
