Comments: This is the best fishing spot on the Mississippi River for people with mobility impairments. Several paved decks go to the water's edge.
There is some excellent backwater carp fishing here in May. Look for swirls or bubbles made by feeding fish. Cast a hook baited with corn or a doughball to the fish. Use as little weight as possible. Note: Read the Fish Consumption Advisory.
