Anyone been fishing this river? A friend and I have to keep canceling our plans to head to the Rochester area to do some trout fishing, due to the rain every week raising and muddying up the Whitewater River. I've heard that there can be some good smallie fishing in the Otter Tail River. Anyone have any recent experience? If I don't find somewhere to go fishing this weekend, I'll be stuck going to a wedding reception. frown Are there any other streams in the area that are good for anything besides riugh fish?

Starting at Friberg dam all the way to Orwell, smallie fishing is great, all catch and release. World class fishery is developing.

Man-o-man now THERE is a GREAT idea....smallies in Ottertail Lake. Whooeeee! Get's me all fired up just thinking about all that water, all those great humps, all that nice rocky bottom and filled with bare knuckled smallmouth bass instead of those weakling walleyes. Wimpfish. Piscatorial grandmas. Sissy-fins.

Holy Moly Ole.....one three pound smallmouth will drag a whole SCHOOL of wussy walleyes backwards.

Jeeeezzz there are some great ideas popping up here and there on these Forums. Thanks for the idea!! Ha!!

      Yep times are a changing. We used to bow hunt out a little shack along the snake river out of Pinecity.   The Vikings game came in a bit better on the black and white when we boosted my buddy up the tree, so he could hammer the rabbit ears up there. We could at least now see which team had the ball on the fuzzy screen! 🤣🤣

      Ours came down to the ground on the outside of the house so we could just walk up to it for turning, and get yelled at safely. 😉

      That antenna reminds me of my childhood. My father would have me go up on the roof and yell at me out the window to turn it certain directions for better TV clarity

      Not sure how they did the wood back then, but now they have plastic I'm sure you could bend into a circle if yea needed. 👌

      Fish Newton lake is great for walleyes. Everyone goes to basswood and forgets about newton. The late fall pike bite in pipestone is amazing and it’s a great time to catch the big walleyes are up there feeding too.

      It would cost you 830 bucks to watch every game this NFL season under multiple platforms.   I don't have peacock or espn+ or whatever they want me to have, so I'll just have to relent on being able to watch a few games.  I refuse to cave in to their demands just to watch the Packers play the Eagles in Brazil.  I think last year peacock had the exclusive rights to the Miami/KC playoff game too.  I'm sure that will occur again in January.

      Well it's a win, but it wasn't to Purdy with all the turn overs and penalties!
