surface temp on the west side off Lake of the Woods has been starting out just below 70F. We can see a slight rise of about 1F by late morning/early afternoon. The east side still holding closer to 70F in the morning and a few spots briefly hit 70F. We can see a 2-3F rise on a hot, calm afternoon. The big spring, generally found south of Miners Point and between Shrimp Island and Eagle’s Nest both north and south, was pumping out enough cold water to hold a surface temp of 61F and surrounding water around 63F. There has been a few surface weeds & a little globular algae between Wildcat Pt and Shrimp, but very manageable and lots of clean water. There have also been a few scattered surface weeds in several locations on the east side north of Eagle’s Next. Just check lines periodically if you haven’t had a strike in a while. We are working a ton of fish off the west side off Wildcat Point and Lake of the Woods and weaving in and out of the ledges. The trout are just pounding tiny, tiny minnows. The east side is also experiencing a hatch now. The east side off Black Mt, Eagles Nest and The Springs is holding scattered pods of trout and I generally work that a little later in AM. www.eaglelakefishing.net

When trolling around the pelicans, the trout have been up as high as 14ft and as low as 24ft. For leadcore trollers I have come up to 3 colors but still...... Read More

The big spring was pumping out enough cold water to hold a surface temp of 61 degrees. It’s generally found south of Miners Point and between Shrimp Island and Eagle’s Nest both north and south. The thermolclines are tightening up and the trout are dropping down. Find trout trolling between 25 and 35feet and as deep as 38feet when hot and calm. Rarely will we find trout below 40’ where the dissolved oxygen is too low to sustain a...... Read More
