Rainy River

Deep summer patterns are holding true, but with that being said, things are always changing.

The mud is holding big numbers of fish and two main fishing techniques are being used to get it done.

Interestingly, some of the success this week came with slight adjustments while on the water.

The three fishing techniques being used are drifting or trolling crawler harnesses, trolling crankbaits and jigging.

There are three fishing techniques being used to score Lake of the Woods gold (walleyes).

When jigging, gold combined with a bright color such as glow white, pink, orange or chartreuse is a hard combo to beat. Use a fathead minnow, rainbow or a frozen emerald shiner.

A jig and frozen emerald shiner was the go to presentation for walleyes here.

As is the norm this time of year, a jig and frozen emerald shiner was the go-to presentation for walleyes.

A jig and frozen emerald shiner again this week is the go to presentation for walleyes here.
