Fishing in Fargo city limits

[Bigtoad]

I am moving to Fargo this summer from AZ. Before moving to this God forsaken wasteland (20 years here) I lived most of my life in the Pacific Northwest/Alaska and was an avid fisherman. When the weather permits, I would like to get back into fishing before age sneaks up on me. Are there areas to fish within city limits? Anything on the northeast side? I'd really like to get back into carp fishing again. I'm retired now so I can get the hell away from this brutal heat. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

The Red River runs right between Fargo and Moorhead. The Sheyenne River runs on the west side of of West Fargo and you are less than a 1/2 hour from a bazillion Minnesota lakes. All contain fish and rivers contain just about every species that the midwest has to offer.

I would start with the dams. Those can be good, especially in springtime.

You're retired and chose to move to Fargo? Uffda...

Once the RR diversion gets done after a few years from now I think that will also open up some good additional opportunities...

Carp? Are you AI?

I shoot carp out of any given road ditch, any given year, with my bow.

The red and most of the smaller rivers flood every spring.

Go north of town.

Yeah. For 20 years I watched retired people flee the cold and end up in Phoenix and Tucson. In April they go indoors, crank the air conditioning to 70 degrees and don't come out until October... Once it gets over 107 it starts feeling hot to me. 20 years ago it wasn't so bad. I live in a rural area and spent years working in the pest control industry. I never want to see another rattlesnake or scorpion ever again. I'm done.

I'm similar, I am thinking. So many people flock South, in the winter, after retirement, but I don't think I will. Maybe my thought process will change as I get older, though.

I don’t know what I’d do with myself if I didn’t get my yearly dose of “Why does it hurt to breathe” every winter.

Plan on being on Sakakawea for the summer months, the place where I live now for fall and late spring, then being in Cabo for 3-4 months of winter. The time of moving snow, and fiddling with ice and the such is going to be in the past when the time comes. 7-10 year from now goal.

If the Carribbean, Mexico, and Central America are such a great places to live why are all those fuckers Migrating North ?

Going to live for a few months and vacationing and living for ever and starting off dirt poor are on different ends of the spectrum. I like going to mexico but wouldnt want to live there full time.

Learing centers are a huge motivator

When you get here, hit us up again. There is a wealth of info buried in the peanut gallery. If you want to fish the VC area, give me a shout. I can put you on some above average chances of hooking up.

Thats easy to answer .......there are other places down there not called Mexico as well.
