My fiancee's dad is a walleye guide in MN and he loves rainy lake. He said its a great lake to catch a lot of high quality fish. I'd say go give it a shot!

I used to go to Nestor Falls in Ontario every year, which is only about 2 hours away. It's gorgeous up there.

Do the math on this - 13,000 lakes in Minnesota, if you start fishing one lake each different day from ice out till freeze over you will not be able to fish all of those lakes in your life time.

I go every year but on the Canada side of rainy. Sadly due to the virus no trip this year. Anyway, smallmouth fishing there is unreal especially in spring where no kidding we averaged 60 to 70 a day and one day over 100. In spring you only need jerks, grubs and squarebills. There is no skill as they are on points in big wolf packs. Love that trip

Went once to Canada to Lake of the Woods in the Fall and it was phenomenal, and those shore lunches with those Walleye were so good.

He guides Gull Lake and Mille Lacs. He can go for smallies, largies, and walleyes. Heโs a really good guy to reach out to. He doesnโt guide rainy though. I can get you his contact info if youโd like

Looking at June 2021, although I hear top water in July-August is pretty awesome.
