Rainbow Flowage
Rainbow Flowage is a large, shallow 3,000-plus-acre flowage east of St. Germain with a rugged, river-lake character.
Its flooded timber, broad flats, and low water clarity give it a distinctly wild feel that appeals to anglers and explorers more than buyers seeking clear-water swimming. Close proximity to town keeps it active, but its personality is more fish-and-explore than polished showpiece.

This is a summary based on available information.
Rainbow Flowage is well‑known for its fishing, particularly for walleyes, pike, and panfish, with bass and other species available in its diverse habitats. Anglers work channels, points, flooded timber, and stump fields with jigs, rigs, crankbaits, and live bait, often following current and water‑level changes. The low water clarity lets fish feed shallower and more aggressively than on clear lakes, so daytime bites can be strong when conditions line up. Because it is large and complex, successful fishing often comes from learning how different arms and basins respond to wind and flow throughout the season.
