LOTW Report 9/25/2011

[Border View Lodge]

We had a good emerald shiner run at the beginning of the week.  While this run definitely brought some fish into the river, the bite is still much more consistent on the lake.  The Rainy River Walleye Tournament was held on the Canadian side this weekend.  Contestants caught some nice walleyes, but the numbers were down and catches were very inconsistent.

The bite on the lake remains excellent.  The reefs around Knight, Bridges, and Garden Islands have been producing with a jig and minnow.  24 to 29 feet has been giving up fish consistently.  As we move into fall, the bite on the south end has been steadily improving.  This trend should continue as the walleyes follow the shiners towards the river.

It looks like a beautiful week of weather coming up with highs, once again, in the seventies.  Won’t be too many days like this left in 2011, so come on up and enjoy what our area has to offer!
