Rain, Wind…back to Blue Skies!
A storm whipped thru Lake of the Woods early this week pouring down a sizeable two to four inches of rain in our area. The good thing is it helped our below average water level and it was short lived. By Tuesday afternoon we were back to sunny skies. Today it is a nice sunny day, sixty-eight degrees, winds around fourteen miles per hour or a little walleye chop we call it. The forecast is telling us it will only get better as we continue thru the holiday weekend, so pack your bags and head our way!
The storm shook things up a bit, but the fishing remains unchanged, from it’s very good status we have been enjoying the past few weeks. We may see a bit of a slow down for a few days as the run off pushes into the river and lake, but that usually only takes a few days to clear back up and since we are two to three weeks ahead of the normal early summer fishing pattern, the best fishing is in the lake rather than the river which doesn’t get as murky so it is very possible fishing will hardly be affected at all.
The Scoop
The best bite has been in twenty-six to thirty-one fee of water outside Pine Island near Light House Gap and Graceton Beach. There have been some anglers that have also had decent luck in Four Mile Bay early in the day in just six to eight feet of water. The best tackle has been 3/8 oz red, yellow or orange jigs tipped with a chub or shiner minnow. There is some that have also been doing equally well with gold spinners tipped with a minnow of choice too.
Let the camping begin!
The power is ready, the new picnic tables are built and the fire rings are almost set. Sportsman’s is now offering ten new RV sites at their Rainy River location starting Friday! Five will have electric, five will be primitive and the rates are very reasonable, we don’t charge for extra people!! Just the site itself! Enjoy swimming in our pool, restaurants, entertainment, fishing trips, boat rental and more! And check this out; we will have cable TV available at the electric sites starting June 10!
