Good morning anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Lake of the Woods fishing report for June 21st, 2025.
We’re coming off a stretch of stable weather—morning temps start around the mid-50s and climb into the low 70s by afternoon, with light winds from the south and partly cloudy skies expected most of the day. Sunrise hit at 5:13 am, and you can expect sunset at 9:19 pm, so there’s plenty of daylight for chasing trophies across these legendary waters. No tides to worry about, so focus on the wind and light, which have been keeping the walleyes roaming in their typical June haunts.
The bite is nothing short of classic Lake of the Woods this week. According to Outdoor News and multiple local guides, the jig bite is still producing across much of the south shore. Anglers anchored up or spot-locked near schools have reported steady action, especially during low-light hours and on overcast afternoons. In the last few days, limits of eater-size walleyes—mostly in the 14 to 19-inch class—have been coming in strong, with bonus saugers mixed in. The slot has produced some quality fish, and one lucky group out of Morris Point Station landed a 29-inch trophy yesterday.
If you’re looking for numbers, Four Mile Bay and Lighthouse Gap are both firing. The bottom transitions near Zippel Bay are also holding good fish, particularly if you drift a bit deeper in 24–28 feet. Up at the Northwest Angle, folks are focusing on shoreline points and neckdown areas among the islands, where walleyes are chasing bait on the move.
Best baits right now? You can’t go wrong with a ¼–3/8 oz jig tipped with a frozen shiner or live fathead. Locals swear by pink and gold when the water’s a little stained, but chartreuse stands out on sunnier days. Spinner harnesses with crawlers are starting to pick up steam, especially over the main basin’s mudflats, where some anglers are reporting bonus perch and the occasional northern pike. Crawler harnesses in orange and hammered copper have moved a lot of fish this week.
For the experimental angler, the Dirty Bomb blinking jig in red or pink tipped with a minnow is still tough to beat, according to some recent YouTube reviews and what’s flying off local bait shop shelves. If you’re chasing bigger predators, muskie reports are just starting to trickle in, with cabbage beds near Oak Island holding the first wave of active fish.
Hot spots? Try the reefs near Knight and Bridges Islands for that mid-morning push, or set up along Long Point in 21–26 feet for a steady pick of eaters throughout the afternoon.
That’s the latest from Lake of the Woods—keep your lines tight and your bait fresh. Thanks for tuning in to Artificial Lure’s daily report, don’t forget to subscribe for more day-to-day angling action.
