Fishing Report from Flag Island Resort Lake of the Woods, NW Angle 8/22/16

On the Minnesota side anglers have been catching Walleyes and Saugers in 18-22 feet of water on warmer days and in 20-27 feet of water on the cooler days. These fish have been caught in mud and rubble rock, west bar off Little Oak, crow duck, west bar off Garden and in the mud south of Oak Island. Fishing chartreuse, green and gold spinners with shiners and crawlers seems to be more productive compared to down rigging most days. Down rigging has been successful with fire tiger and shiner like colors. The water temperature is at 73 degree and dropping and the fish are starting to put on the feed bags.

Crappies have been caught fishing off points with deep holes of 26-30 feet.

Over on the Ontario side, fishing around 24-30 feet of water on top of reefs, saddles, points and wind swept areas has been productive. Fall patterns are in place and areas around Skeet have been best for numbers and size. Many 15 to 20 inch fish being caught with a few bigger ones mixed in. The jig bite is back and really starting to pick up and spinners have still been successful.

The Muskie action is still going strong. The percentage of fish caught to fish seen is up. Patience has been key as there have been small windows of action most days. A high percentage of fish are being caught on bucktails as well as action on crankbaits, plastics and top water. There has been no real pattern to locations – fishermen and women have been catching them on bare rocks, reeds with rocks and weeds.

Until next week, Good luck fishing!
