Lake of The Woods, MN Fishing Report June 1, 2023. The walleye have become more active with the rising water temperatures. Adding to the fact that the fishing has already been fantastic over this past week. Regardless, they have to feed to breed. Speaking of the spawn, some walleyes are still spawning while others are well past that point.
Some walleyes have moved into slightly deeper water out on the lake. Most are being found in the 15-to-28-foot range. The tactic that is hot remains vertical jigging. Anglers are anchoring up and using a shiner of fathead to tip their jig setup. Bright colors gold, glow pink, orange, chartreuse are working very well.
We have received some reports that drifting spinners and trolling shallow diving crankbaits has begun to pick up good numbers of fish. Especially along the southern shoreline in front of Pine Island. Gold has been the go-to color for both. A mixed bag catch continues including walleye, sauger, pike, perch, and crappie.
