River fishing

[FishingIsLife]

My brother said he saw three boats on the river yesterday filming a fishing show in St. Paul near 61 and Shepherd Rd. I can't think of anything they would be fishing for except catfish. Is walleye season still open on the river, becuase that's what we both thought it would be. Any info would be great.

If that is in Pool 2 of the river than it is open year round for everything but it is catch-and-release for most if not all species.

Very, very good chance they were filming a walleye show. If I were to guess... I would say pitching ringworms to the wingdams for cold water walleye.

It was definitely pool 2, and my brother thought they were fishing walleye, I just thought walleye season shut down except for border waters. Is it only pool 2 that you can fish all year long c+r.

You will just have to wait and watch T.V.

[Rainman]

Wallmaster,

You know something about this? If so what channel, date and time would be nice.

[Rainman]

Any body know about this.

I know DeZurik has been on Pool 2 and he has appeared on Holst's show. You can find that on FSN North. That would be my guess.
