Spring is the time for fishing in deeper water on Lake of the Woods. The most successful approach to catching Perch in early spring and Spring is using a 3/8 oz jig tipped with a minnow.

Summer Perch fishing is typically done on reefs or humps at 15' to 30', using a jig and a minnow with a snap swivel or barrel swivel technique.
