The Rainy River has been hot lately with commendable catches of walleyes. Fish are clustered in Four Mile Bay as well as diverse spots along the river. Here, jigging, trolling spinners and trolling crankbaits proved to be effective strategies. The sporadic dispersion of walleyes makes trolling an effective strategy to navigate small schools of fish.
Along with remarkable catches of walleyes, we’ve noted significant numbers of small “eater-sized” as well as larger pike in both main river and secluded bay areas. Fishing with spinnerbaits, inline spinners, and bladed jigs with plastic has proven to yield diverse catch, including walleyes, saugers, smallmouth bass, pike, and even sizeable crappies!
Experience the thrill of catching magnificent sturgeons, which have been frequently spotted leaping out of the water.
