Does anyone know if there is power to plug in and charge batteries at Birchdale? Or anywhere else a guy can camp this upcoming weekend near the river that has power? Any info is much appreciated!!

Just got back from Fishing the Rainy river. I do not know about the power options but I can say the fishing in the Birchdale area was simply awesome for us the past 3 days. Wednesday aft was darn good, Thursday was better and Friday, for approx 5 hours, our average eye went approx 24 inches or a tad more.

On Friday, I would guess we boated 80 plus eyes with a few nice ones from 26-30 inches and our average fish had to have been 24 plus.

Awesome 3 days on the rainy.

Stayed at the Falls Motel in Int Falls with Kelly and his wife run one awesome motel.

Thanks for the great service.

I don't think you're allowed to camp at the landings this time of year...

I know I saw the signs at frontier yesterday that said that.

No electric at Birchdale. There were many campers there in the small campground.

Sounds like you guys did great! We fished Thursday and struggled with only 10 fish. Fishing seemed better shallow. Trip got cut short with motor problems. Current was fast with 12 inches visibility. Did you guys anchor with 3-ways and spinners...pull raps up river? Verticle and slip drifting jigs & rainbows didn't seem to be the ticket.

Anchored and fan casting jigs, or vertical jigging. Big minnows have been better. Getting out the current helps alot too. Those big fish don't like to fight heavy current if they don't have to.

      On the east side of St. Boni. It's not too far from me. A friend lives in St Boni and loves the place. I haven't tried it yet.

      Bait

      I have heard it's because of the drought. I know in my area ( meeker co.) the sloughs that they trap minnows in have dried up.

      Excuse my ignorance, but was is driving the bait prices? Usually the shortage is due to a late ice-out from the swamps and streams. This year should have been much better.

      I should probably learn to use the 6+ containers of lures I have collecting dust in my tackle box. We got on a decent crappie bite the last couple of evenings and I broke out some plastics.  I caught some crappies on them ,just need to build my confidence in using them! I did notice they didn't seem to hold on to them as long as minnows!

      Minnows are 50 cents each, and leeches are $50 a pound.

      Absolutely. I get full bars all-along the drive from Cook to The Landing, and out into Head O Lakes bay. I can't say that I've stared much at my phone signal anywhere else besides on my way to Black Bay. We still don't get much for service there because there are a lot of steep slopes with tall trees in the way. That was expected though. The tower is definitely providing better service to the area in general IMO.
