No Fishing If River Is Straightened Skunk River
Farmers north of Fort Madison threaten to bar fishing if the Skunk River is straightened as part of a $2.25 million flood control plan. The Green Bay Levee and Drainage District backs the project to remove river oxbows to curb floods, while the State Conservation Commission argues straightening would ruin North America’s finest catfish stream and hamper fishing. District attorney Ry Pehseke says the commission’s approval may be sought and fears landowners will not tolerate fishing if action proceeds. The plan covers about seven miles above the Mississippi, affecting 14,000 acres and local farm families.
