new to eden prairie… help..

hello, my name is matt from ep… 25 yrs old. just curious where a guy might be able to find some ok shore fishing?? new to the area from south east mn.. just curious where there are some and maybe any lake presentation ideas? willing to trade any trout info from back home if your interested as well.. thanks all!!

Lots of area lakes have Fishing Piers. Mitchell is pretty good and plenty of other area to shore fish from in the park there. Here is a link to Eden Prairie Parks including a Lake information page. There is also Lake Riley, Bryant Lake Regional Park & Lake(Three River Park District), I beleive they have canoe rental, Starring Lake and others. If you go a little West there is Lotus Lake & Lake Ann and Minnewashta in Chanhassen. The Minnesota River has plenty of shore fishing along its banks and more.

Good Luck

I grew up next to Round Lake in EP. My dad said he saw someone with about a 7 lb LM bass in a bucket. He claimed the tail was poking out from a 5 gallon pail with the nose on the bottom.
