Experience world-class fishing on the Rainy River, a legendary waterway forming the border between Minnesota and Ontario. Renowned for its spring walleye run, this river offers one of the hottest walleye bites in North America from March through mid-April, when the rest of Minnesota's waters are closed. Anglers flock here for a shot at trophy walleye, with the chance to land the fish of a lifetime in the cold, clear waters.

The Rainy River is equally famous for its massive lake sturgeon, among North America's largest freshwater fish. Alongside walleye and sturgeon, the river teems with northern pike, sauger, smallmouth bass, and crappie, providing non-stop action. Prime seasons include spring for pre-spawn walleye and fall during the shiner run, when trophy fish congregate in predictable patterns.

Flowing 85 miles from Rainy Lake to Lake of the Woods, the Rainy River combines stunning wilderness scenery with diverse aquatic ecosystems. Whether jigging, trolling crankbaits, or using three-way rigs, the river offers accessible fishing for all skill levels.
