I use a little larger bait with such a fast current. I d probably go with something a little darker in color. Another option would be to wait a day for the water to clear and currents to slow down. And in the later days of summer, stream fishing activity heats up. Most of the streams are low.
Waters are clear.
They are accessible by wading or canoe and the fish bite really well this time of year. Given those conditions, Bergquist is a regular customer. In the heat of the day, I can come out here with an old pair of sneakers, an old pair of pants and just walk right down the river. I just look for spots I want to fish, and I fish them. He doesn t mind at all that most anglers hook up their boats and head for the Mississippi River or the lakes, ignoring the Upper Iowa, Yellow, Turkey, Maquoketa and Wapsipinicon rivers in northeast Iowa.
