Lets hear some opener reports guys! I am studying for finals right now and need a little "pick me up." Only a few more days until I am home for the summer!!

HI T.L.,
I WENT OUT ON RAINY YESTERDAY, AND STARTED FISHING ABOUT 4 PM. WENT TO THE 1ST SPOT & IT WAS VERY POOR WHICH SURPRISED ME AS THE CURRENT WAS POURING THRU RANIER...NEXT SPOT TRIED THE EDGE OF BREAKLINE(35 FEET) CAUGHT A COUPLE SMALL WALLEYES, THEN POPPED A 16 3/4"...AFTER THAT, THEY STARTED SNAPPING...I BROUGHT A OLDER FRIEND OF MINE WHO COMES INTO THE RESTAURANT., HE THOUGHT FISHING WAS EXCELLENT, WE ENDED UP KEEPING 4 SMALLER WALLEYES & 4 WALLEYES BETWEEN 15 & 16 3/4...AND 5 PERCH THAT WERE A POUND PLUS!!! AND THE WEATHER WAS AWFUL...LOTS OF RAIN., AND VERY COLD...TODAY WE WENT TO VISTA & CAUGHT A LIMIT OF SHALLOW WATER LAKERS....WELL HOPEFULLY THAT WAS GOOD PICK-ME-UP!!!
SINCERELY,
FISHMEISTER

We did ok in Black Bay pulling Rap's. My 5 yr. old caught 1 34"pike and 22",20", and 15" eyes. my 6yr. old caught 23" eye.
Caught a few off the dock also. It should only get better.

Is Black Bay generally a really good spot to start? Is it worth tring by Kettle Falls....or what is near Kettle Falls?

HI SCOTT,
FROM BLACK BAY TO KETTLE FALLS IS ABOUT 35 MILES., IF THIS IS YOUR 1ST TIME ON RAINY, I HIGHLY SUGGEST GETTING A GUIDE., RAINY IS 220,000 ACRES AND HAS 1,500 ISLANDS, AND EVEN IF YOU GET A GUIDE JUST 1 DAY, HE WILL TEACH YOU WHERE & HOW TO FISH RAINY.
SINCERELY,
FISHMEISTER
