wow it took a long time to get a reply on that one ;D ;D even though it was 11 months ago i still think about it all the time. when i went i hadn't fished yet and on my fifth cast of the season i landed a 5.8 lb largemouth. great way to start off the season. we caught tons of fish mostly shallow the spawn was going strong and we caught them on senkos, shallow cranks and lizards mostly, we caught a few on top water as well. weather was decent it rained two of the days we were there but it was just a light rain and we fished through it. the fire ban was a pain but over all it was a great trip i am going to vermillion this year instead I hope to hit the bwcaw next year though. good luck on your trip.

I have fished Rainey for several years and clear Heddon Zara spook with the blue back always produces. Rapala X-raps #10 in the ghost will get them also. For Northerns a red and white  or 5 of diamonds spoon brings em in, I like the 3/4ox size.

Good Luck

five of diamonds is THE go to lure for pike. I also like the 3/4 oz size. the 3/4 oz gold red eyes work really well too.

Lol! I didn't even look at the date of your post when I replied. I'm glad you had a good time on your trip.  I will post my report after I get back from my trip.  I'm really looking forward to it.
