Rainy Lake and International Falls.
Walleye fishing on Rainy Lake continues to be good, with anglers finding them on the reefs and windward shorelines in 25 to 35 feet of water. Jigging with a minnow is working best on the reefs and trolling a spinner rig with crawlers on the shorelines. Crappie fishing has been heating up, especially in Black Bay towards the west side where the Rat Root River flows in.
Smallmouth Bass are pretty active in both Rainy Lake and Rainy River. Walleye fishing in the river has been best above the dam and below Ranier Rapids.
Rainy Lake is a world-class fishery.
There are 940 miles of shoreline – with another 635 miles around 1,600 islands. Rainy Lake is regarded as one of the most scenic fishing vacation destinations in the Midwest.
So, if you are fishing for a great vacation, plan your Rainy Lake and Rainy River vacation today! Come to our neck of the woods – and enjoy world-class fishing – and scenery that is second to none!
