Iowa - Upper Mississippi River
The navigation pools of the Mississippi have many shallow backwaters filled with stumps, downed trees, lily pads, and other aquatic vegetation. Crappies thrive in these environments, as do bass and bluegills. Bussey Lake in pool 10 near Guttenberg is one example where the fishing is hot. Probe the woody cover there with a bobber and minnow to load up on slab crappies. Scott Gritters, fisheries biologist, 563-252-1156; iowadnr.com
Guide's Tips
Species: Bluegills
Guide: Scott Gritters; 563-252-1156; iowadnr.com
Rig Specifics: Any medium-sized spinning rod with a smallish hook and a nightcrawler on the end of it will work.
Quick Tip: Throw the worm out and let it sit. If you don't get a hit, move the worm a little bit to attract a strike.
Where to Fish: The backwaters are the hotspots.
