Does anyone know where a guy can get a good topo map of the Rainy River? I live a little south of there and can't find anything. Thanks.

If you find one let me know.
I think with the changing conditions of the bottom it's hard to make a topo but let me know.....

Ya, your probably right about that. Anyone who has to sit in a 12' boat and listen to you for three days does need all the help he can get. Quit yappin' on the computer and get your crap packed!

The only map I have seen of the rainy river are made by "fishing map". These are those small plastic cards that they sell all over. The one for the Rainy river seemed rather general, but it is something.
Good luck, JBug

The most hazardous area where you'll probably want to travel? for fishing is the Sault Rapids. The best time to learn it is when the water is low with someone experienced in traveling it. Alot of people do it without the help. I've done it hundreds of times in the past (with 14-16" boats and some larger, sometimes in the dark (not advised)) I can be bought. There are some line of site markers the canadians put in, they tryed to bouy it once also. The bouys ended up as lawn ornaments mostly because they couldn't get them to hold through the rapids [email protected]
Good luck, SRR

River maps can be found at bait stores in Baudette. These do not give you the depths of the river, since the river changes with water flow. Last years flooding changed many areas, including our bay here in Clementson. The maps will show areas where there are islands, where they use to do logging near Silver Creek, the pilings that are in the middle of the river.

      Thanks for sharing this exciting career opportunity with Orvis in the Minneapolis area. It's great to see companies looking for passionate individuals to join their team, especially in the world of fly fishing.

      Shocking, I know.  And what may be more surprising is that one need not head westward to find them either.  There is a thriving, reproducing population of them right here in Central MN.

      Cosmo and I took the afternoon off and went pheasant hunting in the fresh snow yesterday.  Tried some new spots that I have never hunted before.  Raised 28 total.  I got a double at the second spot.  Two roosters flushed simultaneously and I dropped both of them.  The first one one fell dead but the second one went down as a cripple.  After retrieving the dead one, I went over to where the second one went down and after some good dog work, Cosmo came out of a patch of grass with it.  Then the final spot produced another rooster for a December limit.  Hunting after a fresh snow is quite often my most productive and enjoyable hunt of the entire season.

      Did you ever trade the 30-30?  If not would you consider selling?

      Caught some crappies on the north end of Osakis on Nov 15th. Pulled from 25-27 feet. All laid on their side in the live well. All kept but one.

      On the south end...   Ice continues to form and make progress on Lake of the Woods.  With that being said, it is going to take some time before it is safe and fish houses are out.  Resort ice guides have been out checking ice thickness, flying drones over the ice and basically staying on top of current conditions.   Back bays are locked up and there is some spearing for pike that has been happening.  Ice conditions even in back bays vary, so for safety, please work through resorts and outfitters.   Most of Big Traverse Bay is ice covered.  There are still patches of open water, some cracks that have opened up, etc.  This is typical for this time of year and it will be a bit yet before most can give the green light.     Lake of the Woods is big and there are many areas of the lake resorts and outfitters go out on.  Each business will be monitoring ice conditions in their area and make informed decisions when it is allowed to access the ice through their ice access and what weight limits will be allowed. Resorts and outfitters have started marking trails on the ice in bays and close to shore.  When it is time to get out on the ice, we encourage working through resorts and outfitters and staying on marked trails for safety. On the Rainy River...   The Rainy River is ice covered.  Local resorts and ice guides are monitoring ice conditions in areas of the river they offer ice fishing.  As you have read in this report previously, work through a resort or outfitter for safety reasons.      Up at the NW Angle...  The Angle is ice covered (as a whole).  Outfitters and ice guides have been marking ice trails.  The ice roads and trails are not open yet, but much of the ice has frozen smooth and is coming along very nicely. There are always areas throughout the winter where there is current up at the Angle so it is important to stay on the marked trails, both when they open up and throughout the ice fishing season, which goes through March, Mother Nature dependent on course.
