 Howdy anglers, Artificial Lure here with your Lake of the Woods fishing report for this fine Wednesday morning, May 21, 2025.

Folks, the bite is hot right now across the south shore! This past week has seen excellent walleye and sauger action, with most boats limiting out. Walleyes are currently scattered, being found anywhere from 8 to 31 feet of water depending on where you're dropping lines[1].

The Minnesota Fishing Opener was a real beauty this year with anglers reporting hot walleye action across the board[3]. If you're heading out today, I'd recommend trying various depths as the fish aren't all targeting the same forage right now.

Your best bet remains the tried-and-true method of jigging with a minnow. Either anchor up or use your spot-lock feature[2][3]. Remember, with our stained waters, brighter colors are working best - gold, orange, chartreuse, pink and glow white have all been producing. Mix and match to see what's working for you today[3].

If you're fishing with buddies, start with different colors and even different minnows. Some locals are sticking with frozen emerald shiners while others are having luck with lively fatheads or rainbows[3].

For hotspots, I'd recommend trying the area from Pine Island to Long Point, particularly in that 15-31 foot range. Another productive area has been east to west across the south shore - just about anywhere has been producing if you find the right depth[3].

Keep an eye out for those big northerns too! Several trophy pike have been caught recently, some by pike anglers and others by walleye fishermen who got a surprise on their line[3].

For those wanting to try deeper water, there's been a nice deep-water bite in the 34-36 foot range. The triangle from Long Point straight east to the US/Canadian Border and up to Garden Island has been holding some big walleyes[5].

Water temps are warming up nicely, which has these fish active and hungry. The traditional fish frys are happening all around the lake as folks are bringing in nice catches[1].

Remember to bring a variety of tackle and be willing to adjust your presentation throughout the day. The fish are biting, it's just a matter of finding where they're holding and what they want to eat today.

Tight lines and good fishing to ya! This is Artificial Lure signing off from Lake of the Woods, where the walleyes are always biting and the stories keep getting bigger.
