Pike fishing is open year round on Lake Of The Woods. As the ice melts and warms in the bays, the Nothern Pike move in to spawn. It's a great way to get an early start on your fishing season in Minnesota. I fished 3 days and used a white ZMan Jackhammer with an X Zone white swammer paddle tail. I caught many pike in the upper 30's. My best day included two (2) Trophy Pike over 40 inches. The pike were in shallow water which was warmer than deeper areas. They also preferred underwater reeds and cat tail areas.

When fishing Lake Of The Woods you hear it over and over. Use a gold colored jig. I decided to try the half ounce Z-Man BIG BLADE in Blue Gill color. The blade is gold. It was an overcast day and I added a green pumpkin paddle tail. This combination was creating a lot of noise in the water and the pike noticed. I caught several in the mid to upper 30's.
