Fishing the Minnesota River

Recent downstream dam removal has benefited the fishing from the banks of the river downtown and in Memorial Park.

Bait can be purchased at Down on the Korner located at 1197 Granite Street.

Over 63 species have been sampled during past surveys of the river. Channel catfish are abundant and their relative the flathead catfish is also found in good numbers. Northern pike, walleye, and smallmouth bass are also available to anglers. Walleye fishing can be excellent at times with trophy-sized individuals not uncommon. The Minnesota River also offers anglers a chance at sauger, usually only found in river systems. Link below to the DNR.
