Other than Pool 4?

Does anybody fish anywhere OTHER than pool 4 anymore? Would love to see a report on fish between 13 and 18, especially if it’s a good one!

Bless me reverend for I have sinned; I promise to fish more and quit fartin around with life . I just wish I had a report to give

I was at Bellvue today. Lots of small saugers and walleyes. Had a hard time getting any keepers. We must have caught over 50 fish. We kept only 2. Pulled three ways with cranks and Plain hook and minnow. We didn’t fish any wing dams stayed up by the dam all day. Live bait out fished cranks by a long shot. Talked to the DNR at the ramp, He said not too many fish brought in over 15″, but there were a few. Hope that helps.

Down here in the hinterlands of Pool 17 & 18 it’s been tough. A few fish, some really large fish, but, we’ve had lots of current and high water to contend with. Levels are dropping along with the flow now though, so, things will get nothing but better.

Thanks Neil,

Have had a hard time finding time to get out. I am hoping to get down to New Boston some starting after Thanksgiving.

I fish pool 7, N of LaCrosse, near Trempeleau and mostly Lake Onalaska as I don’t yet have a motor. Had a nice northern on a couple weeks ago on a #6 perch floating rapalain less than 6 ft water.

Reverend we fished muscatine yesterday and had 9 nice ones between the two of us. It was about 50/50 walleye and sauger. But some real nice eaters. The morning bite was real good then it just almost stopped. We were using 3 ways w/raps which I think 95% of the boats out there were doing. Our fish came on the Iowa side in 15-18′ of water. It’s only going to get better there as long as the water keeps going down. It will be the best when the river there is at 6.0 – 6.5 so watch the stage. One nice thing down there compared to Bellevue is no grass !!! But if the river continues to drop into the 6’s on pools 13-17 the tail waters will be good. Hope this helps you.

Thanks everybody! I squeaked out a 4-day weekend, then maybe a few days off next week. Plan to mix it up with ducks in the morning(if no freeze) and walleye in the afternoon. Good luck to everyone out there, on all pools!

good to hear your water down south is getting fishable! I am sure it will be going good once some cooler water temps happen!

yeah its pretty fishable down here in pool 16.. 7.5lber tonight on jig and minnow.

Looks like that fish was on a real feeding binge…awesome!

Heading to P14 in about 11 hours time for 1 more drink then bed time That 3 hour drive is coming quick

Down here in the lower lands of 17 & 18 everything is just peachy too. John Swank and I got to be the only ones on 18 today. The fishes had nowhere to go but to our livewell.
