In the Rainy River region, mid-August has brought excellent walleye fishing sessions. Four Mile Bay is retaining a good number of fish, along with different shoreline rifts, bars, and other structural segments throughout the river. Spinner trolling and crankbait trolling are proving efficient.
Large pike and a significant number of smaller eater-sized pike are being landed by casting shorelines and back bays. Spinnerbaits, inline spinners plus bladed jigs with a plastic are yielding good results. Pike catches have been enhanced by crankbait trolling.
The river continues to produce a mixed bag of walleyes, saugers, smallmouth bass, pike, big crappies and lake sturgeon.
