Walleye fishing in Lake of the Woods
February 29, 2024
Pickerel or commonly known to most as Walleyes, are a delicious tasting fish that populate the waters of Lake of the Woods in impressive numbers. Walleyes are a freshwater perciform fish native to most of Canada and the Northern United States.
The characteristics and structure present in Lake of the Woods offers walleyes a ‘close to perfect’ environment to thrive. From shallow areas for spawning, to deep water humps for schooling and protection, Lake of the Woods really is a walleye paradise. The angler searching for this particular fish, should pay attention to the wind and current direction. Walleyes move with the current and they start schooling once they find a convenient spot. During the first half of the season, anglers should focus on rocky points close to spawning areas. Use a depth finder to locate flat spots between 15 and 20 feet deep, paying close attention to where the wind and current might be pushing the fish to. By the end of the season, walleyes will be cruising deep water, shying away from the warmer temperatures outside and close to the surface. This is the time anglers should fish rock humps up to 25 feet, surrounded by deeper water.
