Turkey hunter settles for big northern out of Wapsi
Bob Read of 1971 Null Lane rural Marion did not bag a turkey on May 4 but landed a 30 inch northern as his own late spring fishing trip produced a five and a half pound northern. Read, a December 1987 Luther College graduate who plans to teach, was guided by his parents Robert and Marie along the Napsipinicon River Coggin area and then Wapsi Creek where a Mepps spinner and minnow lure produced the catch. They watched the effort but the turkey remained elusive.
