Maryville, MO here, yes we do get some ice! I'm more of a lurker on this site, but I enjoy reading the Iowa posts. Last year was my rookie year. My parents live in Waukee, IA, so I hit Badger Creek alot. I also went to 3 mile, Lake Icaria, Prarie Rose, and Arrowhead.

Greenfield checking in. I was wondering what kind of luck you had at Lake Icaria? I haven't made it down there yet. Thanks Perkeyone

Welcome alfromiowa you might have to travel north to get on the early ice.
Give me a ring if you need company on the ice.

JoeB, Chars guide and what ever else you want here. I'm just east of Beeds Lake in Hampton, fish it most days and have to report that I didn't take a keeper last year.

Would like to meet others and fish different lakes, give me a shout.
Joe

Al, I should have some week days off this winter. if you find yourself home during the week sometime and want to hit the ice, shoot me a message.

Cedar Rapids....been here for 9 years...originally from Independence, fishing on the Wapsi growing up.....would like to meet a few guys from the area to fish with and learn the area. Have casually fished pleasant creek, macbride but definately want to learn more including the Cedar.

Slater, Ia, between Ames and Des Moines. Originally from Kossuth county. Fish Big Creek the most as it's only 7 miles away. Ada Hayden has been good to me. Hope the gas stays around $1.50 so I can venture further from home more often this winter.

Hi, I'm from Dubuque. Hopefully this year will be able to get out on
the ice a little more than the last few years. Even want to get in
a trip or two to some places I've never been to. Good luck, Dave.

I live in Waukee, IA about 4 miles north of Badger Creek ... and if you can tell by my id on the forum it's my go-to lake, but fish nearly everything from Three Mile to Clear Lake throughout the season. I'm hoping to hit the IGLs, Clear Lake, and Brushy a couple of times each this year and focus on Badger Creek, Big Creek, and small farm ponds during the week. The goal is to get out 50 times this year ... so the ice can form any day now.

Hey everyone, I just moved to IA the end of last ice fishing year so I am very excited for this year. I moved here from Western Montana so I have fished a lot of lakes out there and caught a lot of fish but I will rely on you guys to help me out with the fishing over here as it is unchartered territory for me. I live in the Cedar Rapids area, and am looking for some good fishing. I hear McBride is pretty good and that seems to be the closest to me. If anyone else knows of any good spots around me let me know. I will find them eventually and let all of you know what I find. The FL-20 Flasher does a good job on telling me where the fish are

Hope everyone has a great year and I will look forward to chatting with you on the ice.

Hi all, Jeff from Waterloo here.Stumbled accross this site not to long ago.Just got back into ice fishing last season after a 10 year layoff so I have a lot of catching up to do.

jagerdog · « **Reply #79 on:** Dec 03, 2008, 05:32 PM »

Hi all,
I'm in Manly, IA, just north of Mason City. I generally fish Clear Lake and IGL, but I'd punch a hole in a frozen public restroom if there was a rumor of fish in there.

Northwood, Iowa here

For the person asking about Silver Lake in Worth County, I haven't heard anything yet if anybody has been out there.

I'm from MO but I lived in NE Iowa for most my life. Oelwein IA, had to move to MO, but would rather be in Iowa during the winter months

c.r.rick · « **Reply #85 on:** Dec 07, 2008, 05:41 AM »

ellis harbor is where the boat houses on the cedar river are in cedar rapids. the harbor nearst to the river is usually good for crappies bluegill and the every now and then youll pick up a walleye. deepest water there i have found is 14 feet but that was before the floods of 08. hope this helps john-boy. (aka whitey)

Wrong Whitey Rick. I am still here though. Waiting to get out there on the ice.

Hey Gentlemen! Glad to see the forum getting the responses it deserves! This a great site. I am from Clinton, right on the Mississippi. I mainly fish the backwaters and an occasional farm pond. I am SO looking forward to getting out this Friday morning. I was on the disabled list the entire hardwater season last year- it is a sad story involving a 4-wheeler, the state of Wisconsin and a local beer called Spotted Cow. The end result was 7 months off work, new knee parts from a dead guy, ALOT of therapy and several,several thosands of dollars of Dr bills. My ortho told me that if I went on the ice after the surgery he would personally take the 3" screws out of my Tibia/Femur without any anestesia! Point taken. In any case it was a long winter and I am looking to make up for my lost season. Good luck to all and be safe! By the way, are you out there Riverbottoms? I talked to your boy yesterday and he said you were back this way. PM me if you get time!
