I live in Fridley and caught my personal best in N Minneapolis right across from the water works facility. 15lbs and that was 5 minutes from my house!
That’s the biggest channel I’ve seen come from that stretch, sweet fish!
I think the first mile or whatever above st Anthony does have big channels and not a lot of pressure. I’ve seen some caught. Upstream from that I think there are just too many shallow stretches. Any big fish that move up there probably drop down into the deeper sections down stream.
There are a lot of channels from the falls up to the Camden bridge where the navigation channel ends, pretty easy to get a 7-8# once a night. But with that said most my big fish come from the shallower stretches. The CR dam has put out a couple 10#s, as well right across from Dfresh got that big one behind the island had some nice snags that put out some big ones, as well around the 694 area has caught some bigger ones.
But I do agree concentrating around that bottom pool with the depths should have big fish, one of these years I’ll put in more time around there and hopefully find some.
