I’m always catching fish off the Iowa River it’s probably where I fish the most. This particular spot that I favor, never fails. While I may not catch a lot in that spot I always catch some decent sized ones. It also varies where you go along the Iowa River. I have another favorite spot that I don’t catch big ones but I always catch 14+ fish in a trip. Good variety of fish too.
