All I can say is you Winona and LaCrosse people are blessed! Never have I caught so many beautiful panfish while fishing for walleye. These Frisbee sized sunnies were hitting blades, crankbaits, quarter ounce jigs and crawlers... I think they are part pirhanna!
It's a great area to fish. I'm on the water a least once a week in the Winona area. Don't ever hear many reports from these pools but I think you will be very surprised if you give them a try. Smallies are really on a terror right now. Been having so much fun with them haven't really been fishing for anything else. I agree, been getting some big sunnies off the tops of wing dams. Good luck.
