Leaping Bass River A Long Float On Little Turkey Iowa
The narrator recounts a 12 hour, six mile float from Gouldsburg Park to Aurburn Access on the Little Turkey River in Iowa. He and Mike Jacobs encounter about 100 smallmouth bass, with one 17 inch fish in a lair behind a boulder. The piece notes the Little Turkey is larger than the main stem and rich in bass habitat, while walleye fingerlings stocked since 1999 rarely migrate upstream. An immature bald eagle is observed in a cottonwood tree along the river.
