Another ice fishing season is in the books! Thanks for another great season!
The first day on the river went well! Anglers reeled in several nice walleye and sturgeon. Water temperature is 36 degrees. Jigging with jigs tipped with chubs or shiner minnows worked best.
26 inch walleye
Caught by Todd Labine 3-14-2016
Guided by Shane.
27.75 inch walleye caught and released by Andy Labine. Guided by Shane. Nice catch!
The boats are shined up and ready to go! 
The Rainy River is open at Frontier Landing 16 miles east of Baudette (28 miles east of the lodge) as of yesterday.
Crews worked hard to clean out the shore ice at Birchdale Landing, 26 miles east of Baudette (38 miles east of the lodge) yesterday morning and it is ready to go! Only snow and salt remain on the ramp. We anticipate Frontier landing to be open in a few days and Vidas Landing 8 miles east of Baudette (20 miles east of the lodge) a few days after that. Time for river fishing!!!
Birchdale Landing is open! 3-14-2016
Just snow and salt on the ramp remain
Crews started early in the morning March 14 to get the ramp ready for fishing! Thank you for the help!
