Since I moved to Iowa in 1996 I have done most of my fishing from a few select lakes. The main lake we fish is Hickory Grove here in Story county. However I have done some fishing from Saylorville, Big Creek, Little River and a few other lakes here in Iowa. I haven't really done any river fishing since I was a kid.
I'll post mainly my fishing pictures here but check out Devin's page to as he is starting to aquire a few memories fishing too now.
I'm probably not like the typical fisherman here in Iowa, I fish for just a few different species out of all the ones available here. Mainly crappie, channel cats, and a few times we'll go out for bluegills or bass and even more rarely walley.

I believe this was 1997, that was a good year, 64 crappies on the left and 34 on the right. My son Devin on the right with me |

These are pics from this year,(2000) probably the best year I've had with crappies since 97. |

This was a typical catfishing trip down to Little River, most of the fish we caught down there averaged 3 to 5 lbs. Summer of 97.
