    ok… I will take some of the upper ones…. first there are dams on the Miss at Brainerd, St Cloud, and Coon Rapids… and it seems perhaps one other place… but I cant recall… somewhere between st cloud and coon rapids?

    then, there are 3 dams within about a half mile, in downtown Mnpls.. Pool 1 starts after the 3 dam there……

    Pool 1, starts below the dam just above where 35W comes into Mnpls and ends at the Ford dam

    Pool 2 , Starts at the Ford dam and goes to the hastings dam

    Pool 3, starts at the hastings dam and runs to the redwing dam.

    pool 4 starts at the redwing dam and runs to the Alma dam…

    Pool 5 starts at the Alma dam.. and ends at.. hmmm heres where I get a bit fuzzy… so I will allow someone to fill in from here…. though I have fished on most of the pools south…. its a bit out of my current stomping grounds…

    I wish I had 100 bucks for everytime someone asked for that.

    James will be working on a graphic that shows all the pools and locations as soon as he gets some down time from guiding.

    So we should expect it in Dec? Just kidding James. I know guiding is where your bread is buttered.

    keep up the good work

    The MN DNR has a FREE publication that shows all the pools down to the Iowa border. Ask for the Mississippi River Guide.

    You are right so far. Pool 5 starts at Alma and ends at Minnesota city ( Bass Camp). Pool 5A starts at Minnesota City and ends at Winona. Pool 6 starts at Winona and ends at Trempleau. Pool 7 starts at Trempleau and ends at Dresbach. Pool 8 starts at Dresbach and ends at Genoa. Pool 9 starts at Genoa and ends at Lansing. That’s as far as I’ve been.

    Hello, I never hear anything about pool 6. All the talk is always about the other pools. Is the walleye fishing very good down there or it it more of a Bass pool? Thanks.

    Funny you should ask! Pool 6 is a very fine walleye pool. Its just for some reason we cannot get any info from winona. There is a local walleye tournament held every July down there that I fish and good weights have always come from pool 6.

    The only two winona people I know that visit are Haywood04 and MrWallleye.

    Oh I don’t think we’ll have to wait until December! It definitely needs to be done for all the areas we cover, not just the Mississippi River. Its one of those things that is at the top of the list and should make for an even more user friendly site.

    Soon…

    The Iowa DNR has individual Pool maps available (FREE) pools 9 through 18. Simply call or stop in at the DNR stations in Guttenberg, Bellevue, or Fairport and pick up a set.
