Ever fish farm irrigation systems?

So in 8 days I'll be moving, will be right on the Cobb river but all the farmers use it for irrigation around where I'll be(just north of MN Lake). Do you think fish travel that far in there? And It'll be on our property..I'm not going to fish a farmers land without permission.

we catch some tank northerns in the ditches in the spring by my brothers place. these back up into a creek, that dumps into some marshland. only in the spring when the water is high though.

Have fun with creek chubs, thats about all you'll see in most or those irrigation "creeks" however on a quick glance on a satellite image this Cobb river looks like it could offer more. Probably some suckers too. As far as a steady game fish population, I'd be surprised if it could sustain.

I used to fish an irrigation creek along the Iowa border all summer long and hammer some awfully big northers. It was about 3/4 of a mile from a lake, so they would be in there as long as the summer didn't get too dry. In August the water was still 4 feet deep or so.
