I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and that it is continuing right into this week. This past weekend I was able to do some fishing with Cliff and Dale from the Twin Cities area, and despite the windy conditions the fishing was out of this world! Cliff nabbed the biggest Walleye of his life while Dale boosted about catching the most…haha. I wanted to thank the duo for coming back to visit us for the second time this year and we look forward to seeing them both back again this winter. It was a pleasure fishing with you both and getting to know you guys.

Today we should see rain showers early with some sunshine later in the day, high 63F with winds NW at 15 to 25 mph…there will be a 40% chance of rain. Tonight should be clear, low 44F with winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph. Thursday should be mainly sunny, high near 60F with winds NW at 10 to 20 mph. Friday should be sunny, highs in the low 60s and lows in the low 40s. Saturday we should see a few showers, highs in the upper 50s and lows in the low 30s.
Today’s fishing report will be provided by me and Billy “The Sniper” Kloos. We’ve been anchored and jigging those frozen shiners right off the US/Canadian line in 30 – 34 feet of water. I heard some great things from some guests that went as far as the 9 Footer and they also limited out and had some great fishing by anchor and jigging around the reef. People are still catching fish in the bowl and I think within the next week we could see the shiner run start to heat up…at least I hope…haha. The 3/8 oz. Pink and Gold jig has still been slaying the Walleyes out there. One of my friends, who is also a Captain on Lake of the Woods with Borderview Resort, Mike “Foxy” Fox, gave me a little tip about adding a little crawler to the frozen shiner and it paid off for us over the weekend. The past few days I’ve still been hearing that just a frozen shiner is still slamming them also though, so don’t get too worked up if you can’t find the crawlers. Orange, chartreuse and gold, have also been working, but I’m still partial to my pink and gold. If you can’t make it to Lake of the Wood this week, make sure you’re here next week. The Shiners haven’t really started their run, but as soon as they do I’ll let you know. You can purchase your Jigs, Frozen Shiners, Rapalas and Reef Runners from the same place that I get mine, Log Cabin Bait and Tackle, which is about ¾ of a mile south of the Wigwam on 172. I must state this again, in my 18 years of fishing Lake of the Woods; I’ve never seen the fishing this good on such a consistent basis. Don’t wait too long to make your plans to visit us, because you never know how long it will last. Keep checking out the fishing report, and I’ll give you all the hard facts as soon as I find out where they’re hiding next. Good luck and Happy Fishing to all! Thanks for fishing with us and visiting with us at the Wigwam Resort on Lake of the Woods.
Happy Fishing to all, and to all a good day!
