Fishing Reports

Walleye are hitting on jigs tipped with minnows in 30 feet of water around Sand Bay and American Narrows. Crappie have been hitting on jigs and minnows too and several big northern pike have been pulled through the ice around Rainy Lake City. Walleye action has been best near sundown.

Follow up:

Snowmobile trails are in pretty good shape and the groomers are operating on a regular schedule. There may be some thin patches where trails meet logging operations, but they are short. The Rainy Lake trails in Voyageurs National Park are all open and staked and area cross country ski and snowshoe trails are open and tracked.
