Lake of the Woods Ice Fishing Report

Ice Fishing Report Courtesy of Springsteel Resort.

“Right now we have a plowed road to the south point of Buffalo with ice conditions ranging from 16 inches to 24 inches. The walleye have really started to bite at South Buffalo with guys getting limits of walleye and a few sauger and perch mixed in.

Most people are fishing in 20 to 24 feet with chubs and shiners with gold and glows being the go to colors.

We hope that the good fishing keeps up with warms temps in the forecast. Good luck fishing and stay safe on the lake.”

It’s always an adventure at Springsteel Resort. Visit their website to learn more: www.springsteelresort.net
