The sauger bite has also moved into deeper water, with most of the action between 28 and 32 feet.</p> <p>Fishing pressure and noise on the ice can determine how long schools of fish will stay in one area.</p> <p>Lakes with little structure like Lake of the Woods and Upper Red have fish roaming the flats, following the schools of baitfish.</p> <p>When a group of fish houses gets established in one area, the most aggressive fish get caught pretty quickly and the fishing usually shows a gradual decline.</p> <p>When fish are roaming the basin, it is often more productive to stay away from the crowds and keep drilling holes in new areas until you make contact with the fish. </p> http://mnfishingreport.com/topic/lake-of-the-woods#post-6 Tue, 28 Apr 2009 20:49:55 +0000 mnfishingreport 6@http://mnfishingreport.com/ <p>LAKE OF THE WOODS The sturgeon bite has been very good throughout the Rainy River.</p> <p>Even though the water has muddied a bit the fish are hitting crawlers and minnows. The northern pike and smallmouth bass action also has been strong in the river. </p>
