Fishing Report from Flag Island Resort Lake of the Woods, NW Angle 5/31/2020
We have been finding that the fish are still in a wide range of depths, but flats between 5 feet and 7 feet and points as deep as 20 feet. The nicer fish have been hanging in the shallows still. The Flag Island Flats have been a hot spot and continues to be the hot spot. The water temperature did get a little cooler this week down to 55-57 degrees. Do not be afraid to try different things while trying to find the sweet spot! We are pulling cranks or spinners in the flats while jigging on points. This seems to be the most effective.
Until next week, god luck fishing!

With the water temperature between 55 and 60 degrees, we have found fish biting in depths between 6 and 12 feet and also between 18 feet and 25 feet. The fish are still varying between depths, but as the water continues to warm up, they will be schooling up on reefs and deeper water. Shorelines and points with any type of structure close to the islands have been successful. Stay near the islands and you will find some fish. The fish are still spread out so don't be afraid to try different things! We have been vertical jigging in the deeper spots, and trolling cranks in the more shallow water.
Until next week, good luck fishing!

With Minnesota opener being last week, fish have been biting at full force. We have been finding that Walleyes have been found in depths between 8 and 12 feet, as well as out deeper in 20 to 25 feet of water. We have been marking them on rocky points and reefs close to islands with the water temperature being 53 degrees. The fish are a little spread out, so don’t be afraid to try very different depths in the same spot. As for lures, we have had the most luck with small crankbaits and jigs. Jigging in 20-25 feet but using the crank baits in 8-12 feet.
Until next week, god luck fishing!
