Rainy Lake (Minnesota Side), Walleye Fishing Report: So, following one of the, if not the, hottest Mays on record, we finally cooled down to some more normal temperatures. So, in late May and early June when the walleyes were moving toward their summer patterns, the weather normalized and boom walleyes, didn’t know what to do… and they scattered everywhere. Which is great, everyone can pick up one or two from 4 feet of water to 40 feet of water. However, if you are looking for a consistent bite, you may need to wait a week or two. If you do venture out, Shiners and Chubs are working well but that leech bite is starting to get hot as well. I am hearing reports that the Mayflies have started to take flight on Leech Lake and so we are not far behind either. Once that happens use a half of a crawler and a jig with a very slow vertical presentation.
Foraging, exploring and more: Blueberries!! Aargh! Apparently, I spoke too soon about the threat of frost being out of the forecast. International Falls officially reached a low of 39 last week and locations further east and south ( Cook, MN, Superior WI, Houghton MI, Sault Ste. Marie MI, ect… actually had recorded frost! That was close! Morel Mushrooms were available for roughly 5 days… And then between the temperature swing, lack of rain, and 80+ degree heat POOF they were gone. Hiking is starting to become more tolerable due to the declining number of ticks but the deer flies are starting to build in numbers. Mosquito nets are recommended, or speed… If you go fast enough you can out pace them, lol. But then you don’t get to see the sites and that is half of the point. Either way enjoy yourselves and I will SEE YOU ON THE LAKE! -Capt. Brad Krasaway ([email protected]) |
