And if you are focusing on sturgeon fishing, from my personal experience, I would try and hit it as four mIle bay is opening up. There tends to be more of a crowd, but for sturgeon I’d rather fish just a little warner water, rather than colder water. Seems for my group and I to be more productive for the dinosaurs.

I’ve been keeping this screenshot around for my own reference every year, maybe it’ll be of some help to you. As you can tell, ice out on the Rainy is very inconsistent.
