Pool 2 or Pool 3 Question


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. Iim new to the Mississippi and here is the area I would like to fish. I would like to fish the backwater areas close to Cottage Grove by highway 61. Is this considered pool 2 or pool 3? Does anyone know any access points where I can launch my boat? Also I have a 18.5 foot boat with a 150 that is a deep v type boat. Will I be ok on this part of the river? I have never been on the Mississippi before and am hesitant on going out there for my first time. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

By Cottage Grove and 61 is still Pool 2.

Where 61 cross’s over the Miss by Hastings is Pool 3. The lock and dam that separates the pools is just up stream of the 61 bridge.

I thought they have a Boat launch in Hastings. You would have to go threw the lock and dam though, to get to the waters you want to fish.

It is easy once you live threw it, with out having a heart attack! grin.gif

That or I know you can find one in Grey Cloud and go south. Where it is I am not sure of, but I someone should chime in.

I haven't been to that part of the river as I just hit out of Lillydale for the first time yesterday. The river always intimidated me. What I did was stay in the middle going up stream trying to stay in the deeper water and watched for deadheads as we went. We had a good ride up. Not really intimidated by it anymore, but you have have respect for that river.
