On the Rainy River... Strong walleye activity continues.* Jig and frozen shiners continue to be the go-to method with some anglers also trolling crankbaits.**Gold, orange and yellow for jigs.**As waves of walleyes move through, reports change daily up and down river.* Be mobile, move around if a spot isn't producing.* A lot of good reports in 8-14'.* Some big walleyes caught over the weekend.*Sturgeon continue to have the feed bag on.* The sturgeon catch and release season goes through April 23, 2019.****
