Fall on Rainy Lake is some of the best fishing of the year. Look for wind blown points, shorelines, and shallow humps. If you have side imaging you can see the fish, they will look like grains of rice on the screen. Cast the points, shorelines and shallow humps, very your retrieve. Look for areas will more of a sharp break, the bait fish will hold on that break as the wind pushes then to shore and the fish have a better ambush area. I like to use the XT mono it has more abrasion resistance, check your line often for nicks in the line and knot. Good Luck!
