The Dike Road between Wabasha and Nelson can hold some great fish, especially when the vegetation grows up. Frogging, swim jigging and flipping are the mainstays of fishing in these cuts and channels. Look for matted duckweed and lillypads, as this is where the Largemouth are hiding from the hot late summer sun.
