Any advice for late June trip to Rainy?


Recommended Posts

Friends and I are coming up June 23 for the week. I've been coming the first week of September. We stay at Camp Ontario on High Rock Island. Any have any advice for fishing this time of year as opposed to September? Thanks in advance!

jrcoe,

Most of the species will be much shallower than in September. I'm not sure what areas you ussually fish but start checking the tops of mid-water humps and wind blown shorelines because every species will be in their summer time patterns. Right now the water is at summer time levels and there are 2 or 3 gates open on the Fort frances side of the dam. Water temps are around 60 degrees and warming quickly.

Hey jeff, good to see another poster from Camp Ontartio, You must have followed us each year at high rock by a couple of weeks. We go the last week of august, always leave there the friday of Labor day weekend, gives us a day on the holiday to recoup after the drive home. My group and my brothers group take over all but one cabin for the week. Would love to swap fishing spots with you sometime, if your interested. looks like your from Robert and Janets neck of the woods.

Yes sir! In fact I remember two years ago when you guys were unloading, we were loading up to head out to the camp. You guys said you were from Oklahoma. That's great! Yeah I am from their neck of the woods. Private message me sometime and I'll give you my cell number and I'll give you the contact info for the guy in our group that can talk about swapping out that September week. Can't wait to get up there and catch some big pike (hopefully)! lol

      Back when the DNR was seining our beach in July I asked, and apparently they were through oak narrows.   But long way to go to get to us.   I'll keep my eyes open and my mask and snorkel on.  Didn't see any sign off them this summer.

      Nice job Troy.   We are happy with our opening day for ducks.  2 man limit of mixed species by 10am.  LOTS of people where we were today but that was expected.  Other than getting beat to our spot, no issues that would keep up away.  Not even the rain.

      Thanks, I'm riding this now TW200 so not sure I can get on any of the ATV trails. Might have to sled by in the winter! 👍

      There are actually 3 tree carvings on the trail from Soudan to Ely.  I saw 2 of them but missed the 3rd.  I believe that trail is the Prospector Trail #4 or #6.  You have to start from the parking lot on the Murray Road 2 miles past Soudan since several property owners on the old railroad bed didn't allow off-road vehicles on their properties.  Another option is to travel from Tower to Embarrass then on to Ely, but that adds a couple hours to the trip.

      I've seen that caving on a few web pages. What trail is that on?  It would be cool to ride by. 👍

      The colors are getting good. Beautiful time of year. Maples are full red and birch and aspen are going too.  I’m not finding a formula for walleyes. Best luck when fishing saddles and shoreline drop offs 10’ down to 20’. I’m using old crawlers, too, because a) it’s hard to find minnows although Northwoods in Cook has them and b) it’s been too warm to keep them alive.  We do have a change in weather happening right now. Wind is coming up and the temperature is dropping. It’s going to be hard to fish Saturday through Monday but the change could be good after that.  Good luck, you’ll need some. They are out there and you’ll get dinner but you’ll have to work for them. RLG

      A few pics of our ride.

      Thank you. Yes, weather does look sketchy but we'll make the best of it. Looking forward to the colors and just getting away.

      Some more heavily fished lakes are tough ALL season.  Lake Minnetonka and Mille Lacs come to mind.  The water is clear, there are tournaments all the time, and the fish are not easy to catch.   That is why I focus my efforts on lakes with less pressure.
