Wanting to take a trip up to Rainy River on the weekend of the 22nd of March. Was wondering if anyone has any idea when the ice is going to be off? I know this winter isn’t looking good for early ice off. Hoping for the best but I know it is probably not going to happen.
The river is open to mile marker 168, so that puts open water within 12 miles of Birchdale. The ice went out about 7 miles in the last few days. We will be on the river on Monday the 25th of March. With the river going into ice up fairly low, hopefully we’ll get some good fishing this spring if we don’t get a major thaw all at one time. As usual, fingers crossed. The pulse-R’s are laced up & ready to work their magic. We fish Pool 4 all winter, so March on the Rainy is a piece of cake!!!!! Tight lines…….
