What Are the Walleye Fishing Rules in Minnesota? By Patrick Cameron
With 10,000 lakes dotting the state from north to south, one might think that finding a good place to catch catfish in Minnesota would be comparable to finding a needle in a haystack. But when it comes to Minnesota catfish, it's actually Minnesota's rivers that dominate, with the state record for all three species of MInnesota catfish being caught in the state's rivers. Types of Catfish
There are three main types of catfish that can be taken out of Minnesota waters. Blue catfish, channel catfish and flathead catfish. While all three of the state record fish were caught in the murky rivers of Minnesota, lakes are excellent locations for finding schools and catching your limit for a tasty fish fry. All three of the catfish are considered bottom feeders but can be hooked on a variety of live baits and lures. St. Croix River
The St. Croix River creates the eastern border between Minnesota and Wisconsin, from the middle of the state to where it runs in to the Mississippi just south of Minneapolis/St. Paul. The water of the river is murky brown and it is home to a variety of fish, including sturgeon, muskie, northern pike and catfish.
