Greetings All:
The cool temperatures combined with the cool rains we have had here in the Midwest have really turned the walleye and sauger bite on. On the Mississippi River from above Dubuque, Iowa all the way up to Lake Pepin, fishing for these two species has greatly improved. Current water temperatures in the 50's has the fish putting on the feed bag.
For you river anglers, one of the current hot-spots has been Guttenberg, Iowa in the tailwater areas. Many nice fish are being taken there on jig/minnow rigs fished tight to the bottom in current break areas. Further North, one of my personal Fall favorite river locations is North of the Winona, Minnesota area. It seems that the farther south you go, the fishing is not quite as good. Fish are available but not biting as well as the up North Pools of the river.
I still look for a great Fall fishing season on the Mississippi River with good classes of fish available to the angler willing to get out. Unless Mother Nature does something dramatic in the weather department, look for this quality fishing to last into ice up.
Hope you can get some time to get out and enjoy. Good luck and go make some memories.
