Hi, I know its hard to find land now day’s — and I really don’t know your area very well… but I am from around lock and dam 16 area…. the public hunting area’s are probably the best kept secret for deer hunting in Iowa. I have been hunting them for more than 20 years and have had very good luck through the years. If you have any around your area I would not be affraid to hunt them. This year I have seen several very nice bucks and have taken a 140 class 8 point. Good luck and hope this helps.

pool 16 temp. was 49 degrees. Walleyes were being caught on light tackle tipped with a minnow. Several walleyes caught were between 16 – 18″.
