how long does the mother load run? If a guy could get up there end of next week is there still good odds of catching numbers and size?
Unless we get a huge heat wave that cause river temps to spike into the upper 40’s I think this run will be gradual, fish have a internal clock when it comes to spawning eventually leaving water temp to play the ultimate deciding factor when these fish spawn…Last time I checked a walleye will spawn anywhere from like 42-49 degrees, right now the river is hovering around 40 degrees or less, so these fish are moving from the lake into the river to spawn, not all of the walleyes but a lot of them spawn within the Rainy River or Little/Big Fork river. So to answer your question I think the fishing will be good thru the end of the season unless we have a huge wave.
