Cody Lubeley Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Was the state record crappie that came out of the Vermillion just a lucky catch or does the stream actually support good crappie fishing, I did pull two out of a deep hole one day but neither of them were over 8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngie22 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 yes, crappie was caught near etter bridge, which is between hastings and treasure island. does hold big fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Dogg Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 anyone want to mention that the river mostly C&R? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngie22 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 You just did: but not totally accurate. River is very long runs from lakeville to redwing. It is only C&R from head waters and just past hwy. 52. the rest is not protected trout water. Below the falls in hastings it is not much of a trout stream any more changes a bit hold different fish.

blackdog1101 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Just so everyone is clear on the regulations, it's only a 2 mile stretch of water in Farmington that is legal to harvest fish. From the DNR regulations book:Vermilion RIVER including all tributaries to their source (DakotaCounty) trout: All must be immediately returned to the water within a19.5-mile reach from the Highview Avenue bridge in Eureka Townshipto the posted boundary 1.1 miles downstream from the U.S. Hwy. 52bridge. Except statewide regulations will apply on the 2-mile reachof the main stem from Denmark Avenue to the State Hwy. 3 bridge inFarmington. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngie22 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 like it says, C%R mandatory for 19.5 miles of the river Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borg0196 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 If you want to fish trout brook, the Miesville Park closes at 10pm, if you are in the park fishing trout brook after that they can give you a citation for being in the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
