Lake of the Woods Fishing Report – October 2016

The bite is on! Shiners keep moving in the river and the walleyes are following.  Water temperature is down 6 more degrees this week sitting at 47 degrees now.  Vertical jigging 3/8 oz-1oz gold, glow in the dark and bright colored jigs tipped with a shiner is working well.  Areas outside of Pine Island, Four Mile Bay, and many points in the Rainy River from Wheeler’s Point to Clementson have been good.  Once you find the school of walleyes, it’s game on!  Morning and evening has been the best time.
