05/29/2013 10:19PM There are absolutely no fish of any kind in far NE Iowa. And camping is against the law. There are also no Parks of any kind where someone might partake in such activity. |

05/28/2013 06:42PM I had a gunderburger 3 weeks ago. Just as good as always. Mcsweem is correct fo sho. Turkey river can be really good for a mix bag of trout, smallies and walleye in the same stretch of water. |

05/10/2013 09:10PM Those first two pictures in your report are gold. Wonderful times having your son with you. Enjoy it and don't take these times for granted. Damn but I'm jealous. Go again real soon. |

04/25/2013 06:20PM I bp up ther regularly. I really like Brown's for a campsite, although Hefferan's is nice too. Wendel and Schultz would be great if they had some decent water sources instead of having to pack in water. Plus I wish they would put a bping campsite in north of Little Paint Campground. |

Here is a video of a float on the Yellow of a nice brown around the 2:10 mark. Yellow River Brown |

The Yellow River north of Monona holds some nice trout too, if you din't know. |

04/22/2013 06:04PM There is an unfamiliar color on the ground of your campsite picture. I seem to have a vague recollection of something like that from a long, long time ago. What is that called again? Wait, I know - it's GREEN. How odd and novel! Thanks for the report. |
