MAY 18TH FISHING REPORT

Lake of the Woods - Summer Walleye Fishing Report
​Hey Sportsfans! 
 
 
 
A quick recap for you of the first week of the 2025 Summer Season:
 
Friday, May 9… The bar quickly flooded with fisherman eager to catch a trophy walleye on opening morning. (For some, those dreams came true!!)
 
Saturday, May 10 to Tuesday, May 12… I don’t know what was hotter — the south shore walleye bite or the weather. 
 
The season started off strong with the charters finding fish close to the resort. Spread out between the river, bay, and south shore… fish counts were high. 
 
Wednesday, May 13 to Friday, May 16…  The temperatures cooled off, but the wind did not. With such a big swing in weather, the guides changed up their location and headed towards the islands. 
 
All week long, no matter the location, it has been a jig-fest. (Is there a more fun way to catch a walleye?) 
 
Saturday, May 17 to Sunday, May 18… The weather left everyone confused. How did we go from the 90s a few days ago to snowing now? Nonetheless, the charters headed out and brought home plenty for a walleye dinner.
