Rainy Lake Fishing Report:

Current Report ~ September 6, 2011
Fall is in the air, and anglers expect the crappie action to heat up soon. Crappie are biting, especially in the west end of Black Bay. Walleye are still on the reefs and it has been relatively easy to catch a few eaters. The area from the fox islands west to Grindstone has quite a few submerged reefs, and all have been popular lately. For pike, continue to check the mouths of bays like Cranberry or Lost Bay. Smallmouth bass have been along the rocky and weedy shorelines.
The best area on Rainy river for walleye has been west of Kuttes landing near the Big Fork River and also above and below the Ranier Rapids. In the fall, river walleye usually respond best to shiner minnows.
For the most up-to-date information you can call the International Falls, Ranier and Rainy Lake Convention and Visitors Bureau at 1 800 325 5766.
