Pam and I with a freshly
harvested Idaho Elk.
The Great Lakes of Iowa
Pam with a nice white bass in South Dakota I rarely fish any Iowa lakes. There is the old axiom of the 50 mile expert is the one you should always contact for ideas and to give direction and meaning to what you need to do. I hate to admit it but I have traveled over 300+ miles only to get skunked. After all it is called fishing not catching. The same saying applies to hunting. That is why it is called hunting not shooting. This photo of Spirit Lake is courtesy of TripAdvisor This has been the summer for trying out new ideas and visiting new places. Results have been acceptable considering you are just getting the feel of the place initially. Every week the state of Iowa puts out a fishing report on lakes in the different areas of the state. As a boy, I fished one of the lakes in the region

Beautiful Morning on Lake Manawa
My wife feeds Hummingbirds and with fall approaching they are feeding heavily. Fun to watch. Lake Manawa, an old oxbow lake, was an outstanding fishery when I was a boy and fished with my dad. There were no outboard motors to push us around the lake so he would rent a wooden row boat from Campbell’s Marina and we would row or I would row the boat all over the lake. It was work! Then my parents joined the Council Bluffs Fish and Game Club and they had aluminum boats. We still rowed, but it was a lot easier than the old wooden boats. What was really interesting was we did not wear life preservers and did not know that any existed at the time. The other interesting item is that the boats would sink if they filled up with water. There was no flotation built into the boats. Later when I carried papers, I
