Dams?

[A R Johnson]

When you guys are talking about the North and south dams where are they located? I've never fished the river before and would like to try it out, another thing how are the fish for eating?

The north dam is located north moorhead/fargo east of the toll bridge.And the south dam is located south fargo/moorhead next to dike east/west on the east side if in fargo and it is west of woodlawn park if you are comeing from the moorhead side.

I'm not sure I'm following ScottyB, or he's got his dams mixed up- one of the two (probably my confusion).
The mid-town dam is near dike east- near Prarie Psychiatric and the Professional Building. The South dam is near the convent off of South University- not too far south of the Fargo Country Club.

Yup, there are 3 dams in the greater FM area on the Red River.

You can get maps and specific details on the DNR web site or the Fargo Moorhead Parks site.

Scoot hit it pretty close too. The S Dam is a bit tricky to find at first. It is best accessed from the MN side. The ND side is a walk in only situation and the area is developed so access can be limited.

Ed,

Wanna hit the water some night this week?

That's a low blow! I wish I could come back up, but it's not in the cards for me. I'm stuck here in town through Sun.- no way I can swing it. ****!
I'll just have to catch my piggy here instead of there.

I'll see what is free Scoot, but yup, sounds like a plan.

N by NW may be a plan too?

Oops i guess i have been calling the mid town dam the wrong name for years.I have been to the actual south dam before but never knew that was called the south dam.

Any of you guys going to hit the river this weekend? I'd love to tag along and learn a bit about the river since I live right here in Fargo. Let me know, either day is good for me.

Thanks
