Cooling Water is Getting the
the Walleyes Active |
 |
| Water temps are in the low 60’s this week, shaping up nicely for the shiner run up the Rainy River! On the main lake during the day, good fishing in 25 – 30′. Pull cranks or jig over the mud flats near Long Point to Zippel Bay or off of Pine Island. Pink/white, glow red, chartreuse, or gold jigs with a live minnow / frozen shiner or spinners in 26-29′ on the Canadian line north of Lighthouse Gap and in Four Mile Bay. Mornings and evenings, anchor up in 8-12′ off Morris Point or Lighthouse Gap with pink or gold jigs baited with a minnow. Great evening bite out from the fields by Zippel Bay in 14-16′.
On the Rainy River, lots of eater walleye reported already moving. The thought is these are small schools of fish moving up after the shiners. Afternoons are the best in front of Timber Mill Park in Baudette east to Clementson all the way to Franz Jevne State Park. Up at the NW Angle, jigging with a minnow is the method of choice in 25-28 feet. Fishing consistent. Muskie are still over rocks and hitting on chartreuse and orange baits. Find northern pike on the edge of bays using stick baits. Good numbers of bass still reported along rocky shorelines.
