Ice panfish

Has anybody got any good panfish lately in northeast iowa? Any hints would be helpful, thanks

I was out last weekend, but the fishing was dead. I avoided rivers and backwaters, since the ice was not safe. Hickory hills park, Palo, and a farm pond failed to produce a single fish. I could see them down there on the flasher, but I suppose the weather had them lock-jawed.

I also fished the deep bend on the Wapsi (open water) below Troy, but no fish there either. I could see the bottom in almost 6′ of water, which I thought was original for an Iowa river.

The novelty of sittting on the ice in 65° weather was still worth the trip. The ice was a little iffy in spots, though, and I’m wondering now if the snow will goof it up worse.

fishing and ice was just fine last weekend in pool 10 just have do avoid areas you question depth and current had plenty of crappies
