Bullheads

[BezD40]

Anyone know of a good bullhead lake in the Eden Prairie area or west on 212? Going to try cat fishing this weekend and wanted to try them. Thanks

Haven't really gotten into the bullies this year. Staring lake usually has some but I think they were wiped out in the winterkill this year. Not sure what other lakes have them around here.

I tried staring and didn't even get a bite

Of all the spots that I have found bullheads that are good with no AIS, one is worth hitting this year, may go and get 2 dozen or so and hit the river this week if time works out.

I have fished the river very little the last couple years for flatheads with the new AIS rules.

I am assuming it is ok to use bullheads from another system if they do not have any AIS issues or am I missing something with the bait rules.

Thanks for any advice.

Yeah as long as the lake you're pulling from has no AIS, and you follow all of the water change laws, you're in good shape Tom. You can even go up to 10 inches now, but they count toward your bullhead possession limit over 7 inches (greater than 7 inches are not classified as minnows).
