i have not fished the lacrosse area, i am fromt he greenlake area, and want to try some fishing while in lacrosse. What part fo the mississippi is good to fish this time of the year?
what are some other close areas that are hot?
how do i know what pool i am near and how are they numbered, that confuses me?
What baits are hot to use and is there any good sights that explain what colors are good to use on particular days and conditions?
Try the backwaters for crappies and bluegills this time of year. For the gills try using small ice flies and jigs, with or without wax worms. The crappies will hit live minnows or jigs.
The pool numbers mark the water above each lock and dam, upriver until the next lock and dam. For example, the water upstream of L&D 7 at La Crosse is pool 7, until you get to L&D 6 at Trempealeau, Wis. The pool numbers get higher going south, and smaller going north. The dam and pool numbers were created by the barge industry and US Army Corps of Engineers as navigational markers. Anglers use them because it’s the best way to define what water you’re on.
