I agree 100% with you Chris

Billy, Tommy and the whole staff at RLHB do a great job and have the nicest boats for rent on the lake. I have worked with the Dougherty family now for the 15 years. That is where I got my start in the tourism business and have learned many good things and made many close friends over the years because of Rainy Lake Houseboats.

Renting a houseboat is a way to spend a vacation with family, friends, co-works or customers. RLHB offers 9 diffrent styles of boats to rent. They range in size for 2-3 people up to boats that sleep 12. I can’t mention RLHB without takling about the Chairman II the grand daddy of them all. This boat package includes a guide for every 2 customers, a chief and the meals. And let me tell ya, you want go hungry on this boat, I am trying to figure out why I don’t tip the scales at 300lbs after a summer working off the Chairman II.

Never the less no matter what size group you have Rainy Lake Houseboats has boat that will fit your needs. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me, Rainy Lake Houseboats or Chirs. I have a link for Rainy Lake Houseboats below.

I agree Chris the lake is in great condition for ice fishing. We have planty of time left to ice some walleyes, northerns and crappies. I am looking forward to it. See you on the ice…

Very nice addition to the fleet Chris. I am sure you gearing up to get the new boat soon too. I am getting ready to order the new boat this week. I’m sure I will see you on the ice this weekend.

Very true Biggill-
It is a bonus that helps the wallet in the spring, if you can get them out of the rope ok without trashing it. Last spring was one of the best sturgeon years I can remember. It wasn’t an everyday but if you had the time to spend 2-3 days up here you caught planty of fish. Can’t wait to get out there.

Nice fish Chris. Have to say I was jealous when I saw you go by on Saturday with fishing rods hanging out, and I had building materials in the boat. I spent to weekend working on the cabin. Ma Nature was not easy to deal with for me either.

I have to agree with Chris. Days Inn and breakfast is the way to go.

I can testify to this. I was in the boat just a few yards away. Fishing was great today. Boated close to 50 walleye half were over 28 inches. Biggest was 31 inches. We hammered them today.

Myself and many of my friends have all pulled the pin on the ice fishing season for Rainy Lake. The ice is getting really bad. Last night you could almost use your foot as your auger. It was a great run while it lasted.

But don’t forget the spring pike fishing. Chris and his inner circle have many great places to hook you up with a great day or weekend.

Are you planning on staying on the us or canadian side? I would reccomand Rainy Lake. September can be a windy month in this area and rainy has way more area to tuck out of the wind. What are you planning to fish for? September is a great month for walleye smallmouth bass and crappie on Rainy Lake. I have been guiding on Rainy for the last 11 years and have live here my whole live and September one of the best times to be here.

I have to agree with you Chris. The big pike action takes off soon. I hope we have an other great early pike season again this year. Theres nothing like have a 20lbs. pike pull the bow of the boat around. Just watch out for that hard spot in the middle of Dove Bay. I’d hate for the new rig to get bruised up..

Chris-
Left a few drinks behind, but had a great trip. Just had a group back out the last week of May so I have that open now. Let me know if you have any over flow. I’m sure it will get booked.

Hoping to get down to Birchdale Next weekend if the snow doesn’t come. Hug walleyes don’t have a chance.

Nice work Chris.. Thanks for all the tips.. I can’t wait for the spring pike to bite to start… I’ll see on the water.
