Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I am from central Iowa close to Marshalltown. I fish mostly smaller lakes, Hickory Grove, Rock Creek, and I love to hit Red Rock when I can dodge the boat traffic. I do travel a little and have been know to fish the Iowa River between Steamboat down to Liscomb.
My favorite species has to be panfish with my 2 boys. I like to get into the catfish once in a while. I do make a yearly pilgrimage to Canada. I camp on a island for a week and love to set the hook on a big pike.
Thanks again for the warm invite. I like to share my info. I always figured that I get so much from a site like this that what little I can offer is the least I can do.
Good luck to everyone. Hope your weather outlook is better than mine.
