Are there any lake trout in Rainy Lake? or connected or portage lakes. It certainly seems deep enough. I'm taking a group up there this year and one of the guys is interested in lake trout fishing.
thanks.....

I fished Rainy for 17 years and I've never caught a laker or heard of one caught. Bad Vermillion on the east side of the Seine has trout, I've fished this lake in the winter but never in the summer. Rainy is deep enough and I agree it would be a great trout lake!

I live on Rainy, I've fished it in the summer and in the winter and I have never heard or seen one caught. I believe in my 23 years that if one had been caught I would have heard about it. Good luck trout fishing.

The April 6 issue of the OUTDOOR NEWS here in MN, says that they are catching lakers right now up on the Canadian side.

There have been comfirmed reports of a few Lakers caught in commercial nets years ago. I have not heard of any fish caught in a long time. The reports I have heard, have come out of Ash Bay in the North Arm.
Any fish reports that have said "the lakers are biting in rainy Lake on the canadian side" is absolutely pulling your leg.
