The weather today was nice in the morning, but started getting a little breezy and we had a few scattered showers this afternoon. One of our guests could not believe the way the wind changes on Lake of the Woods…I think it just keeps it interesting. Weather conditions for tomorrow look like this…sunny in the morning/afternoon with some scattered thunderstorms developing late in the evening. We are supposed to get some warmer temperatures that will carry into this weekend and Memorial Day this coming Monday. Tomorrow we should see a high of 60…let’s cross our fingers. My sources are telling me that the 3/8 oz and ½ oz jigs are still doing the trick…remember the fish are still on the bottom. The colors that have been working are Chartreuse and Orange or even the combination of both, you may even want to try a little Orange/Chartreuse/Gold…the bait of choice is still the frozen emerald shiners or live fat head and rainbow minnows. We are having the best success catching fish from 12 to 18 feet of water. We are fishing in Morris Bay and Four Mile Bay (right in front of the Wigwam) and having excellent success. I can’t wait to get out there tomorrow evening to do some fishing…I hope that all my friends haven’t caught all the fish in my little honey holes. I will give you the skinny on Friday’s blog on how I did…I can’t wait!!!!
The weather today was excellent in the morning, but started getting a little breezy and we had a few scattered showers this afternoon, nothing like this weekend though. Weather conditions for tomorrow look like this…showers early then scattered thunderstorms developing late in the day turning warmer high of 69 with the wind out of the south to southwest in the morning shifting to northwest at 10 to 15 mph later on in the day with a 40% chance of rain. What this means is, if you’re not out early then you probably will be getting a little wet tomorrow. My sources are telling me that the heavier jigs are still doing the trick (½ oz to 1 oz)…the fish are on the bottom so you have to get there. I personally am still using a 3/8 oz jig, which does the trick for me. The colors that have been working are Chartreuse and Orange or even the combination of both…the bait of choice is still the frozen emerald shiners or live fat head and rainbow minnows. We are having the best success catching fish from 12 to 18 feet of water. We are fishing in Morris Bay and Four Mile Bay (right in front of the Wigwam) and having excellent success. I hope everyone has a great day of fishing tomorrow if you want to brave the weather…good luck and I look forward to hearing about your successes.
The weather today was excellent in the morning, but started getting a little breezy this afternoon, nothing like this weekend though. Weather conditions look great for tomorrow…mostly sunny with a high of 60 Degrees…East winds 10 to 20 mph…this should be perfect conditions for some great fishing on our side of Lake of the Woods.

I hope this will give everyone the right ammo to have a great day of fishing on Lake of the Woods!
The weather today looks phenomenal, but the wind is blowing at 30 -35 mph, which is making for some tough fishing conditions. This morning we saw 4 foot rollers whipping through Four Mile Bay and down Rainy River…ouch! Our conditions are currently very few clouds and sunny sky’s, 45 Degrees with gusty winds up to 35 mph…once again not perfect fishing conditions, but this is what we have to work with today…lets make some lemonade out of those lemons. People are still catching fish from Morris Point all way to Birchdale…my sources are telling me that the heavier jigs are doing the trick (½ oz to 1 oz). The colors that you want to be fishing with are Chartreuse and Orange…the bait of choice is still the frozen emerald shiners and live fat head and rainbow minnows. People are catch some nice fish in 5 to 8 foot of water near the shores, where they are out of the wind and just a tad bit warmer. The rest of the fisherman/women are continually catching fish in Four Mile Bay and Lighthouse Gap. The people in the bay and gap are still fishing in 12 to 18 foot of water. There are still some nice Walleyes coming out of the lake…the pictures don’t lie.
