Jefbet,Im sure the river gets hunted a lot more then I think but I dont ever hear much talk about it or shooting on it.So you should have plenty of spots to choose from.

Well fellas, this dry spell sure doesn’t look to be getting better here anytime soon! I sure hope I’m wrong. Here in Central Iowa we may be in some real trouble for those of us who typiclly hang out on the public marshes. I honestly dont think we will have enough water to even run my mud motor. We may be limited to the bigger bodies of water around here. My only concern there will be lack of cover on the lakes. Is there anyone in the Council Bluffs area that hunts “The Big River”?? Honestly, I have never hunted either of the big rivers and I hear it can be a bit intimidating being on that big of water and not knowing where to go. I am not looking for you to tell me where your spot is I am more looking for info like where I put my boat in, which direction to head, what kind of things to look for etc. Anybody that does hunt over in that area that could pass on some information it wuld sure be helpful.

Unless something drastic happens, there’s not going to be any water to pump. Waterfowl do like vegetation, but all I see is cattails and some water lilies. I’m sure other marshes have better vegetation, at least hope so.

checked a few public marshes this past week……..as usual the water was dropped so the vegitation can grow. If its anything like last year we will again have no boatable water in the areas without the ability to pump it from a larger resource. Waterfowl love vegitation…….but they love water more! Sometimes I just don’t understand our DNR’s methods.

I was at one of the marshes we hunt late last week – water level was down at least 12″ in last 3 weeks, maybe more, closer to 18″. Frankly, the lowest for this time of year that I can remember. Weatherman said last week that this dryer than normal is forecast through October. If so, that is some serious bad news.

The only water that might be around is where they pump it for the refuges,you know,where you cant hunt.Yeah we might get them little jets by the 3rd zone lol.Not looking good so far……
