In a Des Moines area inlet near Saylorville Lake a Lao immigrant named Don Phommachakr demonstrated net casting to collect shad for catfish bait. He explains catching bait fish is legal if not for game fish and notes the culture clash and language barriers he faces while adapting to Iowa wildlife laws. He stores shad in a freezer for future fishing trips and enjoys the outdoors with friends and family.
