LOTW Report 9/24/2012

[Border View Lodge]

This week brought a strong weather pattern of wind from the north which kept most anglers in the river.  The good news is the Rainy River is in the beginning stages of showing its fall legacy!  We have had some good fishing in the river this week. It is still not into full swing by any means but there were some big fish caught and released with some to eat and many little ones.  We are starting to see more shiners in the river as the temp is steadily dropping.

Yesterday we had a near state record Quillback caught.  With much anticipation, it went on to the scale.  Only to show it was just short of the 7.5 pound current mark.  Strangest part, nobody even took a picture!

Right now the forecast for this week shows favorable, with highs hitting the 60’s and lows to 30 overnights.  We are also hoping the wind forecast holds out as it should be sunny and light for the week ahead.  Current water temperature in the river is 54.1.

Fall dates are booking in quickly, if you plan to get in a last trip of the season you may need to decide sooner than normal. Winter rates are posted; it’s time to book your winter trip.

FISH ON!
