Gazette outdoor editor UASQUETON Lou Gary Buck of Quasqueton reports that 47 year old Lujack a machinist by trade became an avid fisherman after a temporary layoff sent him to the Wapsipinicon River. He had previously avoided fishing.
On the Quasqueton dam Lujack battles big catfish in swift water. He nets a 25 inch 85 pound fish after earlier 21 inch 62 pound catch and claims 15 cats that week while enjoying a long layoff.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources highlights prime catfish areas in eastern rivers and reservoirs. Mississippi River pools 9 through 15 offer strong 12 to 20 inch fish with shrimp, worms, cheese and stink baits, plus bites along channel borders and wing dams. Southeast Iowa sees good day and night action with stink bait and nightcrawlers. Cedar River areas in Black Hawk and Bremer counties produce catfish in deep pools and near dams. Corralville Reservoir and Lake Rathbun provide notable catches with prepared baits and catfish shad respectively.
Conservationists test two cylinder nests at Otter Creek Wildlife Area west of Chelsea to raise mallard nesting success. Eight units now surround the marsh after last year’s four. boxes sit on roosts over water with marsh grass filling the space. Predation and weather have challenged earlier attempts, but the project aims to increase wild mallard production across Iowa’s marshes.
The Cedar Rapids Audubon Society will host a nesting bird count in the Cedar Rapids area. Jazz band the Dixie Deeres plays at Buzzard's Glory Quarry with park access from McFarlane Park and a 3.5 mile hike or bike ride. A Fishing Fun Day at Wapsipinicon State Park near Anamosa runs 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with live fish displays and prizes for top catches. Callers share contact numbers for pairing, directions, and details.
DeWayne Jackson of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources says based on hunter comments the spring was pretty good with an expected 30 to 35 percent hunter success. He notes many gobblers with hens, a smaller gobbler population, and caution about the first four weeks after hatch as poults face weather and predators.
