I've had good luck for smallies and a few eyes in the rapids above the Sauk Rapids bridge up to the hwy 15 bridge. I usually use a white jig and a fat head minnow in the eddies behind boulders.
Good luck

I finally got a nice set of waders last fall and really want to get them wet in the in the Mississippi some where in the area. Anyone have any tips on where I could really put these to use. What I'd really like to do is get out and work around the Beaver Islands or some of the islands near Sartell. Are there any spots in the river around here that are low enough/get low enough to really take advantage of wading? I would be after Eyes and Smallies. Also, can anyone tell me anything about the fishing near the Papermill dam. I've stop to look but haven't gotten a line in the water yet. Do people catch much around there? Thanks everyone. Good Fishing.

Just look for larger rocks in the water and pitch a Mepps behind them. The newer bridge in sartell is a great place to start.

      Ice-In

      By StateofHockey · Posted

      Measured 6" good clear ice today about 50 yards off the north side of Moccasin point. Walked out for a little ice fishing. Remember ice conditions vary around the lake, depending on sun exposure and current in channels/narrows. Be cautious, safe and verify your local ice conditions.  Directly off the Moccasin point boat landing, in the channel ice conditions looked poor. Picture is from Northside of Moccasin point I the early morning  when ice looks the best

      2023 MN Waterfowl Hunting Reports

      By Troy Smutka · Posted

      Finished the 23 waterfowl season over Thanksgiving. Got to hunt two days of the long weekend. Saw a modest number of ducks, and harvested mallards, bluebills, and ringnecks as the water began freezing over during the weekend. One of our tougher seasons with different migration patterns probably due to unusual weather patterns with constant fluctuating between well above average temps for a period and then almost instantly well below temps before going well above again, and so forth. Still will cherish the memories with family and friends and relive the sights and sounds of out on the water during fall. Will be posting ice fishing reports in the fishing report clubs as soon as the ice is safe. Happy Holidays everyone.

      Shocking, I know.  And what may be more surprising is that one need not head westward to find them either.  There is a thriving, reproducing population of them right here in Central MN.

      Cosmo and I took the afternoon off and went pheasant hunting in the fresh snow yesterday.  Tried some new spots that I have never hunted before.  Raised 28 total.  I got a double at the second spot.  Two roosters flushed simultaneously and I dropped both of them.  The first one one fell dead but the second one went down as a cripple.  After retrieving the dead one, I went over to where the second one went down and after some good dog work, Cosmo came out of a patch of grass with it.  Then the final spot produced another rooster for a December limit.  Hunting after a fresh snow is quite often my most productive and enjoyable hunt of the entire season.
