Monticello to Elk River Cats

[ozzie]

Have been hitting the river last few weekends to look for catfish to catch and release.  Have landed some real nice ones in the 30-33" range and lost a few that I believe would have bested those numbers...just trying to get an idea of what type of cats are in this section of river as I believe channel cats are in there but wondering if Flatheads or even Blues roam this area?  thanks in advance to any tips and information on this stretch of river!

how low is the water on the sippi??????

 

I'm reading elsewhere that parts of the  st Croix is really low and not navigable now??????

It is certainly low!  There are areas where ya probably have to get out to navigate a boat over but there are enough areas deep enough to run a small boat.

I would say you can catch other cats there, I fished the Minn when I grew up and caught them
