    All the fish have been caught and there aren’t any left, no reports for a couple weeks now…. I can even hear the crickets.

    Thinking the rainy lake edition is about over with the rainy lake staff person gone. Maybe someone else will step to the plate. I’m guessing they are working on it. Wish I got up there more but it’s tough writing a good report that helps others.

    I hope someone steps up, I don’t get up there very often but hope to get back some time.

    He’s gone, but that doesn’t mean the forum has to die. If you go up there post some pictures and reports. If you are going up there ask some questions, somebody will answer.

    These pics are a couple weeks old. Catching fish but not taking many pics. One shows you can catch nice fish close to base. The other shows a rookie from Nebraska can learn to catch walleye. Fishing shallow bays, all our walleyes have been slot fish. Smaller keepers are expected to show up soon.

    nice fish
    You said close to base, what area were you fishing in if you don’t mind telling.
    I’m heading up there on the 27th and am staying at island view.

    I’ve never been there before and could use some advice or tips where to concentrate my efforts.
    Thanks

    “Base” is Rainy Lake Houseboats. You can barely see some of their boats in the upper left corner of the pic. They’re just west of Island View about 1/2 mi. You should have lots of options the week of June 27. There should be fish in shallow bays and also on main-lake structure close to the bays, maybe also further out. Everything depends on weather patterns and water temperatures. There may be some heavy mayfly hatches in some of the bays around then. There are several videos on the IDO site for fishing Rainy. Use the search function to find them. Also, search for different businesses in the International Falls area and see if they post online reports.

    Thank you for the reply.
    I’ve watched quite a few of the videos and they seem very vague as far as info goes, they seem to be more of a sales pitch for northernaire houseboats or pointing you in the direction of a guide to hire.

    I’m pretty sure everyone here knows how to catch a walleye they just don’t want to spend two days hunting them down. The info you gave me in this post is more help than any video on this site so a big thanks to you.

    If you want to know more about what happened to Granrud there was a post about him a week or so ago on the General Discussion page. It’s already rolled back to page 8 or 9 by now. Interesting read. I think it’s the only time I’ve seen a topic get locked out…….
