Where at in NE Iowa? I’m from Dubuque and spent a lot of time up in NE Iowa fishing and hiking around. It’s a pretty area!

I saw a few flathead chubs working in the Platte River in Nebraska. Fortunate to catch a couple sturgeon and sicklefin chubs while trawling in the Missouri River. Those are some cool chubs!
