The most popular walleye-catching tactic on Rainy Lake in midsummer through fall involves live-bait fishing atop the main-lake reefs. Again, use a GPS chip to pinpoint these locations and find where rubble humps rise from the deep basin and top out usually in 25 to 40 feet. Rainy Lake’s walleyes can be helped in other ways (enhancing slot limit effects). When the ice goes out, Rainy Lake is artificially raised for 10 days. This practice has a negative effect on walleye hatches, colder water, eggs with too much water on them, necessary food does not become available when the eggs hatch. Trolling live bait along shorelines and weed beds is a great place to catch walleye to eat. We have a slot size on Rainy Lake that is 13 ¾ – 173/4. The limit is one fish/day and a possession limit of 4. The introduction of smelt into the lake has made the walleye huge. New 2019 Regulations are out showing a slot increase from 17' to 18'!! Overall, in 4 days we caught 30 fish, with 3 being over 11' (13', 16' 23.5'). And a few sauger mixed in. Stayed on the Eastern most traditional sand site on the Kempton Channel, and that site rocked. Even went in for a dip in the 60 degree water to clean up a few times.

Rainy Lake’s walleye fishing is some of the best found in Canada. Within minutes away from Camp Narrows, you can fish for trophy Ontario walleye. If you wish, our Rainy Lake guide service can show you the best deep water structure or shoreline points to target for some awesome walleye action.

We have a slot size on Rainy Lake that is between 13 ¾ – 17 ¾ inches. The limit is one fish per day and a possession limit of 4. The introduction of smelt into the lake has reared huge fish. Most of the fish caught are above the keeper slot. Many fish in the 26 – 32 inch range are caught annually.

Rainy Lake has turned into an incredible Trophy walleye lake. The structure of the lake makes it ideal walleye habitat which consists of deep drop offs, sunken reefs, gravel shoals, and long healthy weed lines. If you prefer to fish on your own, we have great navigational Rainy Lake maps, which we can mark the hotspots.

If you prefer to have guide fishing, our Rainy Lake Guide Service can take you out in either our 21′ deep V aluminum Triton with a 225 Evinrude, or our 20′ Princecraft with a 90 Yamaha tiller. Either boat can get us to the best fishing areas from all over the north arm to Ash bay and Red Gut Bay. We even do early spring fishing for walleye or sturgeon on the Rainy River. We can get you to anywhere on the lake with comfort. The best fishing is still done within minutes of the lodge, however, as north arm of the lake has some of the best fishing in North America. Either guided or unguided, we will make sure your Ontario Walleye fishing vacation will be one to remember.

We welcome you to come and experience some premium Ontario walleye fishing. We have combined over 35 years of our own fishing experiences with techniques we picked up from our many guests from all over the States and Canada. We encourage all of our new guests to come and talk to us or to have a chat with any of the guests in Camp. This way we ensure everyone is catching fish.
