Fishing Opener on a River?

5/12/2017

0 Comments

 
The Governor's Fishing Opener this year takes place on a river, the Mississippi River in St. Cloud.  This has been done in the past but on Lake Pepin, a wider lake on the Mississippi.  Our rivers deserve the same attention as our many lakes!

The fishing right in our backyard on the Minnesota River has improved since the Xcel dam was removed a few years ago.

You can rent a canoe or kayak at Upper Sioux Agency State Park but it's also popular to fish along the bank at the riverside campground and other park locations.  Memorial Park is another great spot to try some shore fishing.  Both of these Minnesota River parks have campgrounds and you can even stay in a tipi at Upper Sioux!

Granite True Value has a great selection of camping and fishing supplies. Get your fishing license and bait at a Granite Falls institution, Willie's Korner Store.  Everything you need for a picnic lunch is also available here, as well as some great seafood if you don't succeed on your fishing trip!  Plan your next fishing trip in Granite Falls!
