know anything about pool 10?

Hmm. Lets see it starts at the Lynxville dam and runs down to MacGregor I think. Thats about all I know! Sorry. I did fish there last spring during the flood and I liked what I saw in terms of the way the dam area is laid out.

Have fished pool 10 since 73 or so. mostly prairie up to the dam. Iwould be there tomorow to shoot ducks but my job requires me to be on call every third weekend. good fishing for walrus on wingdams,or at the dam in spring or fall. great backwater system for panfish,ducks and kids.

Keep your powder dry….B

Two of my grandpa’s friends, Eddie & Buddy Helms, used to own a cabin at Harper’s. We used to stop in there when I was a kid and he’d send me down to the boathouse to catch ‘gills. If you wanted fishing info, they were the guys to talk to. Always a cold beer in the fridge for dad and a hot tip on the fish for me. If I were 1/10th the fisherman, I’d be a much less frustrated Iowan.

Good luck to everyone with the ducks this weekend.
