Did the cannon river freeze out? I was down there the other day and saw all kinds of carp,sheephead,crappies,catfish, and bullheads on the bottom dead or belly up. I wanted to try for some spring crappies but didn't catch a thing. Really sad because that river had a lot of little walleyes in it that would be nice sized in a couple of years.

Never mind, the river is fine. Hundreds of dead fish but thousands of live ones. It was interesting to see the fish such as bass(smallmouth & largemouth), Channel cats, walleyes, perch, HUGE crappies, Obviously carp, Bullheads, northerns, and sheephead. There were some dandy walleyes that were dead but it made me feel a little better when I was able to accidentally catch a nice fat and healthy walleye when I was crappie fishing. Most crappies that I could see swimming were smaller but I am sure when the water temps rise so will the size of the fish.

That's great to hear. Just curious, where on the Cannon were you? Hopefully winter didn't diminish the numbers of fish too much. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Mr. Sniffles I was fishing just down from the dam at morristown in a pool of calmer water. The water was deeper than the area around it so that helped concentrate more fish. GOOD FISHIN!!!

I was wondering if you fished the stretch in Cannon Falls. I dont know of any other spots to fish on the Cannon River but if you could give me some info on other shore access I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Yeah I've fished down there...by the park right? Or if you go a little further to where the river takes a 90 degree angle gets good too. You were catching crappies? I'm surprised...I thought that would freeze out, without a doubt. But that's great to hear that it didn't. I'll have to go down there sometime and try my luck for some crappie. I know you said you caught a few small ones. Any numbers or size though?

MrSniffles, I didn't catch any crappies I could just see them swimming around. The only things I caught were the walleye and the carp. I was fishing right by the park. I was there again today and the carp were really Biting but nothing else. I think the water just needs to warm up just a little more for the crappies. GOOD FISHIN!!!!!

Fishkilla, I have never fished the area by Cannon Falls before but that may be a good area to start!! I have always fished in the faribult/morristown area of the cannon river. I fish all up and down between morristown dam over to faribult. I woiuld try by the morristown dam first because there is always something biting there!!GOOD FISHIN!!!!!!!!!
