Around rainy lake, I have heard of locals pouring gas on the eggs and nest in the spring. Not that I would ever condone such an activity, but it seems much more logical than trying to shoot millions of birds

lol, yeah, the weather usually won't keep me from fishing. It was a slow day though, only 4 walleye and all around 12". Then again, the mornings and evenings are usually much better than day time, but I needed to scratch the itch. It was also very windy, so that didnt make it any easier. I broke off on what felt like a sturgeon, took me about 5 minutes to re tie, lol

Theses birds run deep on the rainy lake. Never seen anything like it before, the sky goes from sunny to almost clear black for almost an hour, musta been 10 million birds. You'd see chunks of them break off and hit every little spot in each bay, even fighting with the pelicans.

Many thanks! Now if only the fish had been biting better I would have had a great day. -41 out on the ice today, I lasted 4 hours, and it was tough

Those look fun to fish. It was a great show, as per usual

Originally I was here as manitoubass, but had some issues with my account. So after a 6 week hiatus, I'm back as manitoubass2, lol. I hope you all are having a great hardwater season, I know I have been. I've been out on Rainy River almost everday for the past week, fishing mainly walleye. Ice is good and thick, over 14-16" for most spots, although the main chanel is still open water. Anyhow, I want to get involved in the tournement this year, and I had to do a post like this to be added to the waiting list, so forgive me, haha. Anyone heading to rainy river to fish at all this hardwater season? Feel free to drop me a message if you need a partner
