Walleye
Walleye anglers visiting Shakopee, Minnesota, will find the best action on the Minnesota River. While not as famous as some of the state's walleye lakes, the river holds a decent population of these tasty fish. Spring and fall are the peak seasons, with the pre-spawn and post-spawn periods being particularly productive. Focus your efforts on areas with current breaks, such as wing dams, bridge pilings, and channel edges. Jigging with minnows or plastics is a popular and effective technique. Trolling crankbaits can also be productive, especially in the deeper channels. A good starting point is the river stretch near the Highway 169 bridge, where you'll find decent boat access. Be aware of the river's fluctuating water levels and currents, which can change rapidly after heavy rains. The walleye in the Minnesota River tend to be on the smaller side, but you'll still find some quality fish mixed in. Local anglers often use sonar to locate schools of baitfish, as walleye are likely to be nearby.
