We have probably a good dozen or more DNR fihing docks around the Cities with two each on Harriet, Calhoun, and Nokomis, and singletons on quite a few others, and even one out on the big Muddy, plus walls all along the river, too. Those floating docks generally reach out over the first break and the outside weedline on all those lakes, very often out to over 25' depths, and all in public parks, generally with parking close. Those are there from about two weeks before walleye opener until about the beginning of November, and provide occasionally hot fishing all during that period.

Having seen that same exact type of fishing dock way down in the SW part of the state by Luverne, I thought they were a state wide program. That is what I would look for. Of course they aren't all primo, and none of them are all the time. I realize that not everybody is blessed with the amount of easily available prime fishing water we have here in the Twin Cities. Nor the variety of species to target either. I would have to say we have probably the top urban fishery in the country if not the world.
