LOTW Report 10/1/2012

[Border View Lodge]

The bite has been excellent up near the reefs.  We have excellent reports from the 9 footer and Knight Island areas.  Action is starting to pick up on the south end of the lake, as cleaner water pours in from the Rainy through the Light House and Morris Point gaps.  Jigs and shiners in 30 feet are producing a nice mix of sauger and walleyes. 

The river is beginning to produce.    A few small shiners (pinheads) have moved into the river, but we’re still waiting for the first run of bigger minnows.  The Rainy River Walleye Tournament was held this weekend on the Ontario side of the river.  Some nice walleyes were brought to the scales and most teams weighed a full limit.  The weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all.

Things look to be cooling down for the upcoming weekend with a small chance of precipitation.  Our current water temperature is 53 degrees.

There is still time to get that last fall trip in.  The fall colors are beautiful right now along the river.  Bring your camera!

FISH ON!
