Another great week sturgeon fishing on the Rainy River. The bite has been very good and lots of fish of all sizes are being boated.
Back bays hold pike as they go through the various stages of the spawn. Deadbait under a bobber, spinners, spoons and shallow diving crankbaits are all viable options.
Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.
Ice anglers targeting walleyes are being rewarded with good catches of walleyes, saugers, and some jumbo perch.
Very good numbers of walleyes in the Rainy River.
Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go. Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.
Great reports of pike up to the mid-40-inch variety being caught using tip-ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 to 14 feet of water.
Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go for walleye and sauger. Gold, glow red, glow white, and pink are still good colors.
Pike anglers are reporting increased activity, most fishing the shoreline breaks near spawning grounds. Pike activity will only increase as we roll into March.
