Rainy River sturgeon and northern pike fishing continues to be the main focus. There are specific regulations for sturgeon fishing and information is available at any area bait shop. The best action near International Falls is just below the dam. The ice isn’t out on Rainy Lake yet, but many areas are open and anglers have been able to put boats into Black Bay and near Ranier.
Among the signs of spring are returning migratory birds, drumming grouse and budding willows.
Rainy Lake is a world-class fishery.
There are 940 miles of shoreline – with another 635 miles around 1,600 islands. The fishery provides excellent angling for walleye, sauger, northern pike, smallmouth bass and black crappie. 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!
