I hope everyone had a great weekend of fishing and relaxation. Yesterday I sent my brother and niece out at 7 am in one of the Wigwam Resort’s bombardiers to fish in on of the Wigwam Ice Houses. Throughout the day they caught more than 70 fish and my little 7 year old niece “Lydia” caught a majority of them…she had a blast…that puts a smile on my face from ear to ear. Lydia, was especially impressed with the “Lake of the Woods Taxi Service” (the Wigwam Bombardier)…she was so impressed that she wanted to make sure to get her picture in the Bombardier when they got back to shore, and she did!

As I alluded to in the last blog, the fishing on the south side of Lake of the Woods has still been fantastic. People are still catching high quantities along with the occasional MONSTER Walleye and Northern Pike…proof is in the Wigwam Resort Photo Gallery. The lures that have been working well are the “Gold Disco Ball Jigs”, “Stop Signs (Pink or White)” and “Chubby Darters/Rapala Rattling Jigs”. You want to be using anything that glows right now to get the best success possible…white and pink have been the best!

Daily Fishing Report (Thursday January 21, 2010): Today should be cloudy, highs in the mid 20s and lows in the low 20s. Friday we should expect snow showers at times, highs in the low 30s and lows in the low 20s. Saturday we should expect snow showers possible, highs in the low 30s and lows in the low 20s. Today’s fishing report will come from me and our guides. All the action is still taking place, west of Pine Island and north of Graceton/Zipple in 32 – 36 feet of water. We have been doing well in our houses, which are only accessible by fishing with the Wigwam Resort…they are located on west side of Pine Island straight out from the “Big Pine”. Our houses are currently in 28 to 34 feet of water, and as of this morning 32 to 34 feet has been the magic depth again…the fish are deep. The lures showing the greatest success rates are the “Gold Disco Ball”, the Pink Florescent “Stop Sign” and “Chubby Darter/Rapala Rattling Jig” (all can be purchased at the Log Cabin Bait store approximately ¾ of a mile before the Wigwam on 172). You will want to get anything that glows right now, whether it is pink or white. Also give the plain gold jigs/disco balls a try. The ice thickness out there is currently 22-24 inches. Adrian’s road is open for business…trucks are going out everyday. Again, just a little reminder, if you want to fish by the Wigwam’s houses, you have to come with us. The only types of transportation that will get you out to our houses are track vehicles and snowmobiles…no trucks. Don’t miss out on this great fishing that we’re having on Lake of the Woods…come visit us today at the Wigwam Resort on Lake of the Woods!

My shout out today will go to Lydia Tessier, my niece. She is quite a little lady and I’m glad to see that she can set a hook just as well as she spins in dance class. I hope that she had a great time out ice fishing and riding in the bombardier…I think by the smiles we got after the day was over, it was proof that she did, and that’s what it’s all about!
