Rainy Lake/ Kettle Falls are


Recommended Posts

I am headed to Kettle falls this weekend with the family and will be doing some fishing for walleyes and smallmouth. I've been told the walleye bite can be pretty good on the Kettle River. Is it possible to get a border pass by Friday of this week? Do I need it for my wife and kids or just for me. Also, is there any topwater bite this early on Rainy? Thanks.

Yes it possible if you go to Fort Francis, they will issue you and your family a RABC. Good luck and if you do go accross the boarder I do belive you will need a passport to get back into the US

You will not need a passport coming back to the USA by car. Photo ID, Yes....

You can get a RABC at the Fort Frances customs office, at the bridge. I got one last week, cost 30$, and took about 15 minutes. You can list your wife and dependents on the same RABC.

Used to take trips up to rainy when I was younger. Had good success most of the time, but had a hard time finding walleye on a couple of the trips. We always went in late august, I've got 2 mounts from there, 15 1/2in crappie, and 20in smally. The smally's are really fun to catch. My cousin had a walleye on jigging in 40 feet of water, they got it up to the boat, but then it snapped his line. They said they figured it was close to 12 or 13pds. My uncle who has fished a ton, said it was the biggest eye he's ever seen.

      Totally disagree Gim. I have a gas Jiffy legend auger. Never issues. Take a little time to care for it before putting it away and good to go. Sincei started using non oxygen gas, startron and seafood in never have issues with my 2 strokes.   Guess when them damb helicopters from my maple tree arrive I'll  find out how good she blows,  doubt I'll  get a chance first with Stormy to compare!🤭   Anyone got trumps number?😄

      Wow, 600 bucks for a battery powered lawn mower?  Guess I didn't realize they costed that much.   I assume most people now are using battery augers in the winter.  I remember when they first came out everyone thought they were a joke.  Things sure have changed on that front.  I hardly see anyone using a gas auger anymore.   The selling point, at least for me, would be to avoid having to do any engine maintenance.  Small 2 stroke motors are a pain in the rear to maintain, and unreliable at best.

      I don't know, this save the plant thing looks like a money maker, for someone! 🫤 Where do you think electric prices are going to go when they have the monopoly for everything that moves! 🙄

      Nice!   It would be great if they had some kind of brake, so you don't end up on your neighbors YouTube video going down the driveway! 😆

      Last month I went searching online for a trailer jack with pneumatic tires. Instead I found the video below showing a relatively quick and easy upgrade to your existing jack:     It's worked pretty well. I definitely had to mess around with finding the right combination of spacers, washers, and locknut pressure that wouldn't bind up the wheels. However, it is a pretty sweet setup and allows me much better control. We live at the end of a half-alley. My garage faces the end so when I need to hook my boat up to the truck, I have to pull it out into my driveway and then swivel it 180 degrees to face towards the street. The handle is what really makes the difference and now the trailer jack wheels don't slide on the asphalt. Has anyone else done this conversion?

      I've got a pile of crawlers ready to go - a nice side benefit of all the rain in the metro lately.   At the very least, I hope that the remaining trappers are making some better money off of the higher prices. I would think that it would be a great way for local kids to make some cash. I can see why it wouldn't make for a great way to make a living as an adult.

      Went out yesterday with the sunshine. I did find crappies in the shallows on a darker stained lake with Temps at 58 degrees. They had no interest in my baits
