Minnesota’s Lake of the Woods and Rainy River
Fishing Report
June 30th, 2008

Fishing remains strong around Pine Island and the Lighthouse Gap. The
Morris Point and Zippel Bay areas have also been giving up nice
numbers of walleye and a few sauger. Anchored and jigging in 5-10
feet of water or drifting in 28-22 feet of water pulling spinners has
been working well for anglers. Leeches, chub minnows and crawlers are
all working equally well. Anglers are catching a variety of fish in
the Rainy River. Bait of choice lately has been crawlers and although
the fish haven't been deep in the river they will go deeper as the
warm weather continues. Sturgeon season opens July 1st so don't
forget to pick up your tag.
