Rainy River was a blast for 2 day trip. Trolling swimbaits upstream, and pitching plastics to shoreline breaks with jigs worked best. Natural colors worked best for us as we had mostly cloudy conditions. 3/8oz jigs worked better the first day with there being more wind. 1/4oz worked better the second day. Bigger fish definitely preferred a long pause on the bottom with a higher, longer pendulum swing.

Fishing on the rainy river was a little slow with the cold water temps, but we were able to put some nice walleyes in the boat along with a bonus sturgeon. We focused on the edge of the channel breaks pitching our jigs into shallow water and popping it off the edge. We would do a slow controlled drift with the trolling motor. Plastics performed better than live bait. Pink and orange were the best colors for us. 1/2 oz or 3/8 oz jigs worked best to keep the bait in the strike zone.
