Clements Fishing Barge

Information

The Clements Fishing Barge has been in operation since the fall of 1937. We are located just below Lock and Dam #8 on the Mississippi River. We have the largest fishing float on the river and at one of the most ideal locations, making it a prime fishing spot. 

The variety of fish is stupendous. Be prepared to reel in Walleye, Sauger, Northern Pike, White Bass, Small and Large Mouth Bass, Panfish, Sturgeon, or Catfish. The Walleye fishing in the spring and fall is exceptional.  For those of you that are unable to bring along equipment... we rent fishing poles and reels. If you are interested in what kind of tackle to bring... give us a call or email us. We can also give you a fishing and weather report. 

We pick you up on the Wisconsin side of the river, just below the Lock, in a 20 passenger enclosed Coast Guard inspected vessel. Once we cross the river to the Minnesota side, you have your choice of fishing locations on eight floating piers, one of our fishing guides is on hand to assist you. There are chairs, benches, and shelters for your convenience.  We charge $16 for adults and for kids under 12 we charge only $5, kids under 5 are free!  We have seven day passes available and yearly passes as well.  Each one offers lots of savings.

In the town of Genoa and the vicinity there is a variety of places to stay, eat, and purchase tackle and bait. There are also several activities that the whole family can enjoy. We would be happy to recommend lodging and events. Just give us a call or email us.
