Lake of the Woods Fishing Update Walleye, Perch Biting in 25-31 Feet of Water

# Lake of the Woods Fishing Report Well folks, it's Artificial Lure here with your Lake of the Woods update, and let me tell you, conditions are getting interesting out there. Ice conditions remain the priority right now. We're sitting at around 11 to 12 inches of smooth ice in most productive areas, which means ATVs and portable wheelhouses are your go-to—vehicle traffic is still being held off until we get thicker ice. The warmer weather we've had lately has slowed the bite a bit, but don't let that discourage you. **The Bite** According to recent reports from the lodges, walleye have been the name of the game. Most fishing activity is concentrated in 25 to 31 feet of water, and the two-rod setup continues to shine out here. Work an active jigging line to draw fish in, then run a deadstick tip-up for those aggressive walleyes. We're talking solid fish too—guides just recently brought in a beautiful 26-incher. The perch action has been pretty good as well, especially in the shallower areas, though if you're willing to fish deeper, you'll find larger average fish sizes and higher numbers. **What's Working** Jigging is your primary technique right now. Pair that active jigging presentation with a deadstick—it's been the most productive setup according to recent lodge reports. For lures, shallow crankbaits work year-round out here, and squarebill cranks are excellent for triggering reaction bites even when fish aren't super active. Tip-ups for walleye have been producing consistently too. **Hot Spots** Head out to the deeper reefs in close during twilight hours—that's where the bite has been fair to good lately. The six different fishing areas that guides are currently working in 25 to 31 feet of water are your best bet.
