Ice fishing Rainy Lake


Recommended Posts

Rainy Lake is a fantastic walleye fishery.This is a well known fact. The winter bite is every bit as good as the open water bite. To fish Rainy on hard water, a sled and a portable fish house are really the way to go, however there are roads plowed that give you access to many prime areas .So if you want to get away from the crowds enjoy beautiful scenery,catch some big walleye's give us a call, and ask about are icefishing specials. We are on the ice most days and can save you time finding fish.

Well its time to get your ice fishing trip planned, if you have never fished Rainy Lake you should give it a try.The best way is to have a wheeler or sled with a portable house.The more mobile you are the better chance you have at getting into some really nice fish.They do plow roads out to some very good water,There are no roads open yet.I have not been out ,I will start to get things together, soon we will be on the ice.

Give us a call, we have ( DEALS ) going for the up coming season.

Try something new, gas prices are down , Rainy Lake is a world class fishery, all year round.

Kelly and the crew at Falls Motel are great to deal with. We have already booked our annual stay in I Falls with Kelly! You won't find much nicer folks to deal with if you are an outdoorsman and also if you are a friend to Fishingminnesota.com

Our group changed a 20 year tradition to stay with Kelly at the Falls Motel and are glad to say we are staying there again!

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
