First trip to Lake of the Woods in 2025 and what we found was cooler water temperatures than I have seen for this time of the year, but we just adapted to the conditions. The weather was more like summer with temperatures in the 80's, which did help warm the water temps up some as the week went on, but the nights were cool and comfortable. Like last year, the Lake Trout were still shallow, so of course we had to fish for them, which is always fun.
We caught a variety of fish throughout the week including walleye, smallmouth, lake trout, pike, perch, sauger and crappie. That is one thing I will say about LOTW, I have never seen a more diverse fishery, which is just great!

Second trip to Lake of the Woods in 2024 and what we found was some of the best walleye fishing I have seen in years on Whitefish Bay. The weather was more like August, but the nights were cool and comfortable. The theme of this trip was "Find the Fish, Catch the Fish", as we caught fish on every spot we tried to fish during the entire week-long stay.

Back on Lake of the Woods in 2024 and I was finally able to get my youngest daughter Emily to the Canadian side of LOTW. We found the water temperature to be the coldest I have experienced for this time of the year, but we adapted and found plenty of nice fish.
