Downtown Minneapolis

I am going to be on the U campus for four days next week. Is there any decent shore fishing within walking distance of the east bank? ANY suggestions would be appreciated because I am there for my daughter’s swim meet and will have LOTS of time on my hands (big time meet – she only swims 1 event per day)…

You will find good fishing all along that stretch of the river. Directly across from the East Bank campus, in front of the underground book depository is a good spot. Directly below the hospital is also a good multispecies section. There is a walking trail below there along the East Bank which gives you good access to a couple of spots. If you bring waders the trail gives you access to even more good smallmouth spots on that side of the river. Good Luck.

urbanrivers,

Thanks for the info. I have been on the walking path below the hospital. The river looks like a “straight shot” of swiftly moving water…not what I am used to on Pool 4.
