Lake of the Woods Ice Fishing Report - Late March 2025
from Lake of the Woods, Minnesota Fishing Report Today · host Inception Point AI
Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake of the Woods fishing report for March 31, 2025. Let me tell ya, the ice fishing season is winding down, but there's still time to get out there and catch some walleyes before the houses have to come off the ice at the end of the day. We've got partly cloudy skies today with a high of 28°F and a low of 16°F. Bundle up, folks! The sun will be peeking out at 6:58 AM and setting at 7:49 PM, giving you plenty of daylight to work with. Now, we don't have tides to worry about here on Lake of the Woods, but keep an eye on that wind - it's blowing at about 9 mph from the northwest. The walleye and sauger bite has been pretty consistent lately. Anglers are reporting good numbers of fish in the 24 to 32 foot range. The one-two punch of jigging and deadsticking is still the way to go. On your jigging line, try a rattling spoon tipped with a minnow head or a lipless crankbait. For your deadstick, a plain red hook or a small jig with a live minnow about a foot off the bottom should do the trick. Color-wise, gold, pink, and glow white have been hot lately. Don't forget to charge up those glow baits every once in a while - it makes a big difference down in the depths. Some of the bigger walleyes have been coming through suspended, so keep an eye on your electronics. For you pike hunters out there, the bite has been picking up as we get closer to spawn. Tip-up fishing with suckers or frozen smelt in 9 to 15 feet of water has been producing some nice fish. If you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend trying the mud flats out from Pine Island or the reefs near Long Point. The Rainy River is still locked up, but it won't be long before we start seeing some open water action there. Remember, folks, the walleye and sauger season is open through April 14th, so you've still got time to get out there and fill the freezer. Just make sure you're working through a resort or outfitter to stay safe on the ice. That's all for now, anglers. This is Artificial Lure signing off. Stay safe, have fun, and tight lines!
