A solid cap forms most winters. Warm spells mid-winter are not to be trusted. Expect the lakes here to open about late March. County records name bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, black crappie and common carp among the fish present. Local tackle shops know the levels better than any website. Everything above falls under the one set of county rules. Take the Iowa rules with you, since they apply throughout....
