Explore Minnesota fishing report: Fishing remains good on south end of Lake of the Woods
When temperatures get this cold, it is best to use less active presentations and downsize the lures and baits. Small jigging spoons with minnow heads are recommended, especially during low light hours.

Here is the Explore Minnesota fishing report for Friday, Feb. 12:
The panfish bite remains excellent. When temperatures get this cold, it is best to use less active presentations and downsize the lures and baits. Small jigging spoons with minnow heads are recommended, especially during low light hours. Please remember that catch-and-release fish should be returned to the water as quickly as possible to prevent fish kill.

Explore Minnesota fishing report for Friday, Jan. 15

Baudette-Lake of the Woods and Rainy River
Good numbers of walleyes and saugers continue to come from the south end of Lake of the Woods. Jigging one line and using a bobber and live minnow on another line have been effective, especially in depths of 23 to 31 feet of water. Gold, pink, orange, glow red and glow white tackle have worked well, as have lures with a red light stick and rattle baits. Electronics are helpful to pinpoint suspended walleye and tullibee. Anglers fishing Big Traverse Bay are taking walleye, sauger, jumbo perch, northern pike, tullibee, eelpout and an occasional crappie. Walleye measuring over 28 inches have been reported this week.

For rules, regulations and other helpful information on fishing in Minnesota, consult the DNR’s Fish Minnesota web page.

Explore Minnesota fishing report: Ice building rapidly with colder weather, but caution remains crucial

On the Rainy River, a few local anglers are venturing out, but most anglers prefer the more consistent ice on Lake of the Woods due to the lack of current. Anyone planning to fish the Rainy River will want to work through a resort since they are the most knowledgeable of current ice conditions.
Up at the Northwest Angle, the walleye bite has been incredible in 15 to 19 feet of water during early morning and late afternoon hours on Lake of the Woods. In fact, there have been a number of groups that have taken their limits by 8:30 a.m. When the walleye are active, nearly any bait or lure will work. When the frenzy slows down, use a slower, more subtle presentation. Toward mid-morning, anglers are reporting more sauger, jumbo perch, and an occasional giant northern pike when they slide out to 22 to 26 feet of water. Fish houses are currently sitting on 12 to 15 inches of ice, but areas of open water exist from Buffalo Bay to the south side of Garden island. A snowmobile trail running from the south end of the lake may be staked as early as next week, but for now, everyone is discouraged from traveling across the main lake. A Northwest Angle Guest Ice Road is being constructed to offer guests access to the Angle and Island from the south.

Weekly fishing update from Explore Minnesota for Friday, Dec. 11: Warm temps slow ice-making progress

Ely
Ice conditions remain excellent on area lakes with a solid 4-8 inches of ice reported across the area. Four-wheeler tracks are being seen at more accesses recently.
Walleye fishing remains slow on the larger area lakes, but good to excellent on many of the smaller walleye lakes. Anglers are having the most success using tip-ups with shiner minnows in 17-23 feet of water. Jigging spoons and rippin' raps are also triggering walleye bites during the evening hours.
Northern pike have been eager to bite. Tip-ups with large minnows set at the mouth of shallow bays or along the weedlines have been the most productive. Depths of 10 feet of water or less have been best.
