The Enigmatic Fishing Quest On the Upper Mississippi
Orlan describes a five day to the Upper Mississippi with Dave Patterson chasing big bass. They catch 11 three pounders in two hours but fail to discern reliable patterns. He notes the vast river dynamics challenge, yet two clear behavior patterns emerge: bass not highly concentrated nor especially hungry. Contact: 319 934-3172 organ Jove Gazette Communications.

Walleye fishing booming at Clear Lake says DNR official
Ben Wallace of the Department of Natural Resources reports high catch rates at Clear Lake with most fish over mud flats in 10 to 14 feet of water. Nightcrawlers outperform minnows as bait while strong year classes from 17 to 20 inches appear in gill netting data and a May walleye tournament drew 900 legal catches from 100 two-angler teams.

Clear Lake walleyes show strong year classes and harvest reach
Creel checks and angler interviews indicate 2002 year classes support a large share of fishermen. About 5,000 walleyes were harvested in May, matching the 2008 open water season total. Strong 10 to 13 inch walleyes are developing while the lake's record harvest of nearly 16,000 in 1996 remains a benchmark. Natural reproduction is non existent, so the fishery relies on hatchery production.
