Has anyone been up there this past week ? I heard the water is really low...has it improved any and has it affected the fishing at all ? My dad and I are going up the week of 7/5 - 7/12 to fish the NW angle out of Sandy's. It seems like it's taken an eternity for this trip to arrive. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Lake levels and river flows remain very low for this time of year. Lac Seul is at its lowest level since 1977. Lake of the Woods is at its lowest level since 1988. Recent rainfall may lead to a small improvement but significant additional rainfall is needed to see a return to normal levels.
The current level of Lake of the Woods is 322.44 m (1057.9 ft). The level declined slightly over the past week and is expected to change little over the next week. Lake of the Woods outflow is 150 m3/s.
The level of Lac Seul is 354.81 m (1164.1 ft). The level rose slightly over the past week and is expected to rise slightly over the next week. Lac Seul outflow is 50 m3/s.
