| MN Opener 1996 |
On IDO Outdoors Fishing Forums, one of the regulars was reminiscing about wade fishing in rivers, streams, and creeks in his childhood.
I gave a three-paragraph reply, which I will share in three separate posts. This is Part 2: Canby, MN
I was a Youth Pastor in Canby, MN, for a couple of years in the mid-90s. They drained Del Clark Lake before I got there the same year I arrived. I was able to catch walleye, suckers, and pike at various points in the creek that runs through town. The final year I was there, Del Clark, which I think had been off limits to fishing, opened up, and it was on fire for 17" to 20" walleye and 28" to 32" in pike, and I was like the only person who knew about it. It was ridiculous. And then, at the end of that magical May, my time in that town was over. I also tried some fishing across the border in South Dakota for spawning pike, but I couldn't figure out how to get the big gals to bite in this one particular creek. I caught a few hammer handles over there but saw many spawning pike.
