Good to see someone is out there I can live vicariously through. Good luck. Maybe I can sneak in something before the year ends just to say I did.
Yeah baby, that’s what I’m talk’en bout. My creek didn’t have enough water in the rapids to bring the brownies in. But I have a file picture.
I got old enough a couple years ago and the State of Iowa gave me a lifetime fishing license.
They're good eating but I threw them back. I was hoping to catch walleye.....................
Doesn't take long to get cold at 31 degrees.

Same here, no fishing or hunting license for Missouri resident senior citizens (over 65)
That's a good deal. We only get fishing.
glad we were on the bank and not in a boat ! 
Do you need a license to snake fish in Missouri ? You guys have all the luck.
Fishing was always one of my favorite things to do. We never had land to go hunt but always were able to go to a river or lake and catch fish. I still have my first fishing pole my grandpa fixed up for me the first time I ever went fishing. Hoping to pass it to my boy in the next year or two when I take him fishing for the first time!

Dave,
Smallie looks great. Fun to catch. Are you fishing the Cedar close to your house? I’ve got a lifetime license too. Most of my fishing is in Wisconsin for crappies. Go there three times a year. Walleyes should be feeding for the long winter now. Know there’s some big walleyes in the Cedar river. Good luck and keep us posted. Always bring a dip net - or you’ll be very sorry some day.

I'm fishing my sand pit and the Cedar River near my old house. Both about a mile away. Lots of walleye in the river here. Will go out again today.
The Iowa DNR started stocking the Cedar with walleye fry years ago without success. After a few years they determined they were stocking with pond reared fry. The pond reared fry can't reproduce in running water. They started stocking with river reared fry and now we have a great fishery. GENIUS
A friend caught a 30" walleye out of my sand pit a couple of weeks ago.

It's a water snake it has a viper style head but it has round eyes and is non-venomous. But it has a mouth full of teeth and it will bite the Shi* out of you if you mess with it.
