I spent three days on the Rainy River in Minnesota — no boat, no live bait, and nothing but artificial lures. With a few stops on Rainy Lake. This stretch of river runs about 85 miles along the Minnesota–Canada border, and I set out to explore as many public docks, piers, launch ramps, and shoreline access points as I could from Baudette to International Falls.

Along the way, I caught walleye, pike, and sauger, and learned how quickly this river changes with weather, current, and timing. Nearly all these spots were brand new to me, so this trip was part fishing mission, part scouting mission — figuring out what works, what doesn’t, and which areas actually produce from shore.

Whether you're planning a Rainy River trip or just curious what the river looks like from the bank, this video shows the real experience: artificial baits only, lots of walking, public access fishing, and the highs and lows of chasing fall walleye from shore. Rainy River is an incredible fishery — even better when the timing is right.
