Hunting and Fishing in Iowa
|
Casey Lake
Fishing is good for 8 to 9 inch bluegills on small worms, flies
or wax worms fished around structure. Channel catfish fishing is
excellent using worms, liver and stink baits. One angler caught
a 14-pound fish over the holiday weekend. Anglers are catching a
few largemouth bass on crankbaits in the early morning and
evening hours. For information call:
Lake Hendricks
Bluegills are biting in 6 to 8 feet of water on jigs tipped with
a nightcrawler. Anglers are having the most luck in cooler
evening hours. For information see: (800)285-5842

Crappie fishing is good in deeper holes on minnows or small
twister tails. Fishing at Volga Lake (Fayette) is slow but

Smallmouth bass fishing is good on black twister tails during

channel catfish on cheese baits. For information see:
