    Here’s an article about the resurgence of native mussels in the Mississippi river in the Twin Cities area. Basically the article describes how few mussels were in this stretch or river 30 year ago and how many they found during a recent survey. Pretty encouraging!

    I know that it isnt uncommon to catch ones that are bigger than your hand on Pool 2. I had never seen mussels so big.

    The river seems cleaner and heathier than ever!

    Boone-Great article. Thanks for the link. We can expect good things from pool 2 in the years to come. Very healthy population of several year classes of walleyes and other species as well.
