    If anyone has the time, I like to go with them to teach me how to walleye fish here in Iowa.  I have caught three in my life.  Two in IL and one here in IA.  They were caught accidently while fishing for bass.  One was a 5 lb and the other was 3 lb in IL and the other was about 12 inches in IA.  I have a STRATOS bassboat or we can use my two-man boat.  It is freezing rain out but still might go fishing.  I haven't wet my line yet this year.  I heard they were catching walleyes below the spillway at Red Rock.

    Thanks for your time.

    Hi Al:

    I just happened on to your note here from March.  I have never been a strictly walleye fisherman but have caught a good nomber both here in Iowa and in Minnesota.  I have always done well with jigs & fathead minnows up north, here at home on the Wapsi I pick them up on cranks while tossin for smallies.  I love to eat them but here at home I throw them back in, since the floods put our sewage treatment plant on the fritz.  I Live in Anamosa and I use my 16" square stern canoe and a 2hp yamaha kicker to navigate the rivers and ponds in the area although I am sometimes  restricted to my electric but it works just as well in most cases.  I am retired Navy.  Let me know where you live and maybe we can wet a line together sometine.
