As of December 21, 2024, the fishing scene at Lake of the Woods in Minnesota is buzzing with activity, especially with the onset of ice fishing season.
First off, the ice conditions have improved significantly, with plenty of ice to walk on in most parts of the lake. According to recent reports, ice fishing is in full swing, and anglers are having a great time catching a variety of fish.
Yesterday's catches were impressive, with good numbers of walleyes and saugers being landed. Additionally, there were some nice jumbo perch, eelpout, and pike caught as well. Vertical jigging with frozen emerald shiners has been the go-to method, catching most of the walleyes, saugers, and jumbo perch.
For lures, gold, glow white, glow red, chartreuse, orange, and pink jigs are your best bets. A gold jig paired with any of these colors is usually a winning combination.
As for hot spots, the south shore of Lake of the Woods is a hotspot, particularly around the areas from Zippel Bay to Long Point and around Pine Island. These areas have consistently produced good results for walleye and sauger.
The weather today is cold, perfect for ice fishing, with sunrise at 7:55 AM and sunset at 4:20 PM. While Lake of the Woods does not have tides, the stable cold weather ensures good ice conditions.
If you're planning to head out, make sure to bundle up and enjoy the excellent fishing conditions Lake of the Woods has to offer this time of year.
