Walleye |
| Sauger |
| Early
in the spring Mississippi River 'eyes have usually migrated up the river
to Lock and Dam #3 just north of Red Wing. With the high water
levels of spring they look to move into backwater areas to spawn on the
flooded grass areas. Look for this in late March and early
April. - The

Smallmouth
Bass |
|
| Crankbaits
are an ideal lure to use when fishing for smallmouth bass in current
when they are holding tight to submerged rocks and cover. With a
crankbait you can keep the lure on steady course by maintaining a
constant pull on the lure. This should help you keep the lure in
the strike zone. - The Grub |

Largemouth
Bass |
|
| When
choosing a spinnerbait blade type for Bass, or any other fish for that
matter, choose Colorado blades for use in stained or muddy water as they
provide the most noise. If the water is clear or there are a lot
of baitfish in the area choose willow blades as they provide the most
flash. - The Grub |

 |
Northern
Pike |
| Muskellunge |
| When
fishing for Northern Pike, don't be afraid to use "big"
tackle. A Northern or even a Muskie for that matter, if hungry
will strike very large prey often up to 1/4 of it's size. -

 |
Crappie |
|
| When
fishing for Crappie, if you seem to be bringing in only "little
guys" try fishing a little deeper. This can be effective as
very often the small fish are near the top of the group with the larger
fish taking positions at the bottom. - The Grub |

Bluegilll |
|
| Bluegill
are a member of the Sunfish family and like most Sunfish, remain in
shallow water through most of the spring and summer. During
this time they are rarely found deeper than 20 feet. In late fall
and during winter ice they are usually found anywhere from 9 to 30 feet
deep. - The Grub |

Catfish |
|
| Remember
that catfish are generally nocturnal fish. Your best times to
catch them are night or dusk. While they can be caught anytime,
fishing is most productive in the dark. - The Grub |

 |
Trout |
|
| When
Fishing for Trout keep in mind that especially when stream fishing for
them, they will often start to feed as it starts to rain. - The Grub |
