Anybody on Pool 4 lately?

With this warmer weather someone has to have been out. I’m guessing the complete lack of reports anywhere means a slow bite. I’ll admit I’d be a little surprised if the fish weren’t going though since I’m stuck at home on crutches after injuring my knee and usually if I can’t get out that means the bite of the century is happening.

I haven’t been out during the day but I have heard good and bad reports.. I have ventured out in the afternoon and done well

Thanks gonecribbin for the report. Hopefully my knee will be healed enough to get out in a couple of weeks. I’ve had pretty good fishing down there in January in the past.

I dunno bout that

Someone is always on an amazing bite when you fish the river

And people are learning to keep quiet.

Where do most guys launch to fish Pool 4 this time of year? Is it north or south of Lake Pepin? Are the Red Wing accesses open year round?

The WI backchannel ramp has a bubbler going to keep it open. Lots of parking and lights.

Yup, that’s it.

Anybody out? Everts says their ramps are open, but nobody posting?

I don’t think Everts is what it used to be.

Things are different at Everts now. It is getting close to the FYB tournament so even if people are fishing, reports will be slow to come out until that is done. The weather has been terrible since December for open water fishing hasn’t helped either.

Umm. There’s been very few people on the water. Very few.

Instead of looking for a spoon to suck on… Go fishing and you report

I’ll be down Saturday all day.

Amen

This time of year can be a real challenge on the easy bite…. however, one of my most favorite times of year to go! The opportunity for a PB fish is as good as it gets and dinner bell males will show themselves at the magic hr…..

Cant catch em on the couch !!!!!!

I mostly fish Pool 2 from ice out until September. I will always give status reports, (ramp conditions, ice conditions, water temp, river flow, how the bite is, etc.) to be helpful to others and let them know what they can anticipate if they decide to head out. That is all I was asking. It appears things are a tad different on Pool 4.

Ramps are open. You can call everts or just go to wi back channel.

Ice conditions… None. Of course I find ice on pool 4 but almost nobody ventures on the water at those temps… So if you’re actually going to go fishing..99.9% there is no ice.

Water temp and river flow can be googled. 33-34.5.
Flow… Winter stable. Ain’t been warm!

How the bite is: see winter fishing pool 4 historic posts. Nothing has changed. There’s a hundred reports from past years in this time frame. They’re all valid.

Who needs to know ice conditions on pool 2 up until September??? Lol!!!

Thanks
