Fishing is getting better and better as time progresses. Despite the mayfly hatch that has been occuring over the last week, walleyes are still biting in all depths of water on Rainy Lake. Anglers are still finding walleyes in 8' of water in Cranberry Bay and Black Bay. Trolling with raps and spinners has been producing a majority of these fish. There are also plenty of fish to be had on wind blown shorelines, shallow rock piles, and even on the reefs. No bait has been out producing any other at this point in time. Some of the best fishing is coming from the Brule area and around Shelland and Blueberry Islands. The bite is about the same on the Canadian side. Cormorant, Swell, Seine, and Northwest Bay have been good spots to try. The bass bite has slowed with the mayfly hatch, they can still be caught, but slower presentations are necessary, and plastics have been outfishing lures. Crappies are just now finishing up with their spawn and can be caught in 6-8' of water around rock piles in Black Bay.
On the Rainy River, water is still running high and fast. Walleyes are in the slack current and are hitting hard when you get on top of them. Smallies are still off the breaklines and can be caught using imitation minnow lures, such as Mimic Minnows and Gulp Minnow Grubs. Sturgeon season is now open and a few are being caught around the Littlefork River at Mile Marker 8, and below the Rapid in Birchdale.
