Rainy Lake:
Walleye Update: September is here and the fish seem to be back on a seasonal pattern despite the odd summer weather. Walleye’s are being caught at varying depths depending where on the lake you are. If you are in Sand Bay or the North Arm near the Causeway fish can be found in 30 – 35 feet along break lines. If you are in the National Park walleye are being caught in 28-35 but that depth needs to relate directly to deeper water (50+). Jig and minnow are still the best presentations and they are really liking the fall. Meaning don’t be scared to use a VERY aggressive jigging motion and letting the bait nearly free fall to the bottom. If you are familiar with jigging raps, this is a similar strategy. Northern are in the same locations as the walleye but bully the other fish away, so if you catch a big Northern don’t expect to catch a walleye for a little while it would be better to move. But if you are seeking out Northerns use 20+ lbs. test Fluorocarbon and have fun, there are a lot of them out there! Big Bass have now transitioned to deeper water and they can be caught in anything from 15 – 30 feet right now. Look for big boulders on your graph with one – three fish near them… that equals Big Smallmouths! Enjoy yourselves and I will SEE YOU ON THE LAKE! -Capt. Brad Krasaway ([email protected]) |
