Fishing Report November 2025

November 11, 2025

Our Northern Lights returned for an encore tonight, and it was an absolutley tremendous aurora with vibrant reds and greens, sometimes covering the entire horizon. sometimes straight above our heads.  We have observed a few truly dynamic aurora displays up at Woman Lake over the last few years, and this was as good as any of them.  I will post some photos in the "Catch Photos" section, in case you missed this one.

We enjoyed a lovely display of the Northern Lights over Woman Lake this evening on a crisp, clear November evening.  They were not quite as dynamic as they could have been, due to the bright full moon, but they were beautiful anyway.  I will post a few photos taken from my shoreline.

I have not been out on the water fishing this month, and I have not seen anyone else fishing either, but I assure you the walleyes are still biting well, if you can tolerate the cold.  I also have not heard or seen any young-of-the-year loons over the last few days.  I suspect they finally figured out mom and dad are not returning and they boldly grabbed a north wind to head south in search of whatever they my find.  Their instincts will somehow navigate them to the coastal waters of the southeast, particularly the gulf coast area.  I am no longer seeing many migrating birds at my bird feeders as most have already made their way south by now.  There are quite a few swans still in the area, some of which will stay all winter.  It has been a remarkably warm and pleasant fall season, and the ground remains unfrozen.  We have only had a few nights of freezing cold so far, but we will likely see the first signs of lake ice in a few weeks.  Firearm deer hunting season opens on Saturday.
