Greetings All:
Well, the forcast snow did arrive. Here in Pools 12 & 13 we had just under 8" on the ground. Now it is the very cold weather moving in to make your river fishing trip quite cold. You can still launch in Dubuque and Bellevue and fish the tailwaters. Floating ice in the river but you can slowly get around it if you take your time. Great time to have waters mostly to yourself. Lots of fish are available though.
After plowing snow this morning I went out in Pool-13 and scored a really nice limit of walleye and sauger for dinner. Nothing like some fresh fish from the very cold water. Orange 1/4th oz. Fireball jigs tipped with a 3" minnow was the ticket. Get tight to bottom though for best results.
Dress VERY warm and you can still get in some great fishing before total ice up.

CURRENT CONDITIONS OF RIVER HAVE CHANGED!!
Greetings All:
River lock and dams in Pools 12-13 have put gates of dam into Winter set. This means water is blowing through and this has scattered fish out. Look for them to slowly return in a few days or so. Also, be aware of chunk ice starting to form in river and it can damage your boat and lower unit of motor.
Still some nice fish down river but getting to them a bit harder with ice. Go slow and you will enjoy a great day on the river. Snow expected on Saturday with 6" possible.
