Memorial Day Weekend, is Bass Fishing Opener in Minnesota. Heading up to Royalton Minnesota to the Platte River, for Smallmouth Bass. Platte River flows from near Lake Mille Lac, draining into the Mississippi River (by Royalton Minnesota).

This is a great Smallmouth Bass River for Floating, in either a canoe or pontoon. There are some fast shallow areas, that you should be cautious about. Remember to be wearing a PFD (Personnal Floatation Device).

Smallmouth Bass average between 1? and 2 pounds.

Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool
Swam three little fishies and a mama fishie too
"Swim" said the mama fishie, "Swim if you can"
And they swam and they swam all over the dam
