Idaho Fish Report

Lake of the Woods partially frozen. Open all year. Water temperatures are approaching freezing. Lake of the Woods was stocked three months ago with monstrous trophy trout averaging four pounds. Fishing will be slow for these trout.

Fishing will be very slow for many of the warmwater species in the lake. Fishing for yellow perch is probably your best bet. Fishing for largemouth bass along the shoreline docks, large wood and lily pads can be productive. Smallmouth bass are more common west of the Lodge near the rocky areas of the lake. The lake is dominated by stunted yellow perch. Very small bait and hooks will catch these fish.
