Legal Bank Fishing

[Taryn]

Hey everyone! I was curious if anyone knew of any bank fishing spots around town that I could try? I like to find secluded spots and not be elbow to elbow with people but lately I have ran into being asked to leave some of the places. I have used Google earth but figured I'd ask! Also, I got a list of bodies of water around town online but sometimes once I get there, its just a fountain at an apartment or something non fishing related lol. Thanks in advance!

Try Rivermont Park near the Boat Ramp, usually not anyone there.

I actually went there last night and then saw a sign that said "no fishing on boat ramp". Wasnt sure how stern they are. lol

any where besides the boat ramps along the river park is fine

ok! Thank you! I prefer to go to places "off the grid" per say. lol I usually look for trails off the rd.

Swimmers shouldn't camp out on ramps either. I had that issue Friday night. They wouldn't move. I had 2 kayaks to launch, 1 a big fishing yak. No room on either side of the ramp.(Waconda Bay)
We finally had to just push through. Rednecks with a bunch of kids.
Kids wouldn't make way once I launched so I just went through them.

I know exactly what you mean! We have had boaters fly by where we are fishing at full speed! Very irritating!

The TWRA has a list of bank-fishing access points state wide. Look on their site.
