July 12, 2024 Fishing Report for Lake of the Woods

Current Fishing Conditions
Lake of the Woods is experiencing excellent fishing conditions at the moment. The shorelines in 12-18 ft of water, from Pine Island to Long Point, are teeming with active fish. The surface temperature of the water is a warm 76 degrees, making the fish highly active and eager to feed.
Deep Water Bite
Additionally, there is a thriving deep-water bite in 34-36 ft of water, particularly from Long Point straight east to the US/Canadian Border, and up to Garden Island. This triangle of deep water is holding a significant number of big walleyes, as well as great-sized walleye and sauger.
Recommended Fishing Methods
The most successful methods for fishing in these conditions have been drifting spinners with two-hook crawler harnesses, equipped with one and a half to two-ounce weights. Another effective technique is running lead core or using downriggers to deploy crankbaits deep into the water, moving them at speeds of 2-3 miles per hour.
Overall, the fishing opportunities at Lake of the Woods are abundant and promising, especially along the shorelines and in the deeper waters. Anglers are encouraged to make the most of these ideal conditions and techniques to reel in some impressive catches.
