Upper Mississippi tournament

[Justin92297]

Next weekend I will be fishing a college FLW qualifier out of prairie du chien Wisconsin.  I have never fished up north before and I am not sure what to expect.  If anyone has any expierence here I would love to know how the fishing usually is this time of year and what the water temp and river levels will be like. Feel free to DM me, thanks!

Best of luck and definitely hope you do well!

I wouldn't be there without a TackleHD hidef craw or two.

I think much depends of the water color/temp at the time you're fishing. If it's too murky, maybe find a tributary that's clearer. Sometimes rivers up there are shallow and wide and not much channelized. Find a spot that is a foot or two deeper than the  surrounding water. Spinnerbaits  are always a good choice for up there, they cover a lot of water.

Prairie du chienhas allot of duckwort beds. Fish the color change with a frog.

That area is a fascinating bass fishing destination; I'd love to hear a report from you or from anyone who has ever fished it.

Placed 17th out of 127 and missed the cut for nationals by 9 ounces. Definitely still had a fun tournament on a great fishery. Thanks for all the help!
