    Nice one. Got one similar to that in a farm pond the other day. Got some nice crappies and a few bass also. Have you tried the pits in Muscatine yet this year or are they fished out already?

    Nice crappie. My friends and I have caught six limits of crappies so far this spring in between the rain drops and muddy water. Most of them have come from smaller lakes in Iowa.

    Little River has been under going a renovation the last two years. The gills are supposed to be 7 inches and the walleyes 6 to 9 inches. Should be good fishing again in a couple of years.

    Dam faces, brush, rocks, etc. Fish can be surprising where you find them. I've caught them in some very strange places and shallow water. They aren't always where they are supposed to be.
