Beyond the fishing it is very likely you will solve several of the worlds problems while relaxing in their premium glass boats!  The RainyDaze team is well known for uncovering hidden patterns on some of Rainy Lakes biggest and baddest fish. As Chris would put it himself “We’ll let other fisherman specialize in small fish……..We’re chasing the BIG GIRLS!!”  Many customers also enjoy the knowledge gained while fishing with the Captains during the course of a day.  “Personally I feel anglers gain more useful information from us if the fishing is tough.”  “Under tough conditions clients can see how you breakdown the water, and change tactics to try uncover the secrets of the day.”

A trip with a professional fishing guide like a RainyDaze Captain is an experience that no angler should miss. All of our Captains are licensed and are truly gifted angler’s. Rainy Lake is a top fishing destination as it offers outstanding multi-species fishing and breathtaking scenery. There are few bodies of water with trophy fish like the mighty Rainy Lake and the Rainy River, yet these are vast bodies of water that also have a lot of “Dead Water”.  The ability of an angler to quickly eliminate the water that holds few fish and get on top of the “Big fish” pattern is critical for overall success. Whether you’re looking to chase Walleye, Crappie, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike or Musky, Rainy is your lake. Book your next trip with a RainyDaze captain, and you’re sure to learn the latest and most successful fishing techniques while enjoying a great time on these pristine border waters.
