Spider has fin fishing. I have see and only experienced once good walleye fishing. If you want Sunnies, this is the lake to hit. Northerns are OK and the Crappies are good also. There is a special Regulation on this lake for them.

I think that the fishing has really gne down hill in the last 10 years here, due to over development. Having fished the lake for the last 30 years it is not the lake it used to be. Have noticed many people in the spring working the shoreline spawning beds and taking all the bull sunnies off the beds. Cant do that for too many years without negative affects. Also DNR has stopped stocking walleyes and is managing it as a bass and panfish lake.Too bad as it used to have a good fishable population of eyes in it. Anybody else have .02cents to thro in on this?

I fish, therefore I am.

Thanks for your replies. I've spent a week at a resort on Spider for the past 10 years or so and was looking for the kind of info that you've shared. My experience has been lots of small sunnies with some occasional nice sized fish. Had always heard that it was supposed to be a good crappie lake and hadn't caught any until a couple years ago. Didn't catch many, but the size was near the length restriction. Seems like one can always find some bass and lots of small northerns. One last comment, the lake seems to get alot of fishing pressure for its size and fishable water. Anymore comments on this lake?

Thanks,

TO the people who fish Spider....

DO you like the North East Lobe, The South East Lobe or the connection in the middle of the two for Walleye?

How has the fishing been lately? Many mosquitos or mayflies yet? I've finally found some time and will be in the area next week. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Want to fill in everyone real quick but a few weeks ago I caught a really nice out of Spider. I mesured it againts my tackle box it was at a minimum 24. I caout it at night lindy riging with a very long snell in 20 feet of water. I am going up next week for a full we and Hope to get right back at it. For those of you who fish the lake is the night bite really the only bite for the Walleye? Can you catch them in the day? Deep?

      Boy this wind is something. I was going to go deer hunting for the early doe season but the wind is a little strong.

      My electronics often say that I am on land when I'm on the water. Trust is a two-way street!

      Fishing is still pretty good.  Went with a friend and the dog yesterday for about 5 hours, managed 19 largemouth and 10 pike.  I normally don't take photos of pike but several of these fish were on the larger side and quite thick so they made the cut.  One of these days my fishing season is going to be over but for now the fish are still cooperating.

      On our fall trip, we saw many examples of downed trees on Pine Island. Small trees being cut with chain saw and piled. Any insight on project?

      On the South End...  Fall fishing on Lake of the Woods is excellent right now.  The colder water temps have the fish snapping.     Walleyes and saugers are being caught in a variety of locations across the south shore from 20 to 27 feet.  Water temps are in the low to mid 50's. Jigging with frozen, or live emerald shiners is catching a pile of fish.  Anchor up and jig over the side of the boat.  Typically, lots of small fish to sort through but you will get your keepers along with some larger walleyes. Jig colors to consider are gold, glow white, glow red, chartreuse, orange, and pink.  Gold combined with any one of these colors is often a good choice.   On the Rainy River... The river continues to get better and better with more walleyes moving in each week.  Good fish being caught in many sections of the river.  The morning and evening hours have had the best bite. Walleyes are actually being caught using three methods.  Jigging with frozen or live emerald shiners, pulling spinners and trolling crankbaits.  15 - 25 feet of water has been the norm. Sturgeon fishing continues to pick up as the water cools.  The "Catch and Release" sturgeon season is in place right now.  The river holds a myriad of species of fish.  Crappies, pike, smallmouth bass, suckers, bullheads and even an eelpout or two are being caught up and down the river.   Four Mile Bay is also holding some nice walleyes as they make their way in from the lake.  Various areas on the edge of the current and channel break are good spots to begin. Up at the NW Angle... Another great week of fall fishing up at the Angle.  Walleyes are keying in on various areas with structure.  Points, neck down areas with some current and transition areas from rock to mud are good right now. Walleyes are the most sought after but in the fall, lots of muskie and crappie anglers are around as well.  Good reports on a variety of species including jumbo perch and pike as the waters cool.      Put on some warm fall clothes, make sure your camera is ready and make some incredible fall fishing memories.  There is still time to get in that last fall trip.
