Okiboji or Storm lake?  Okiboji is a long way up there.

No lakes in Iowa. It’s all corn fields. 

Lake Anita, Three Mile, 12 Mile

Okoboji is super hot right now. Tournament yesterday took almost 32 lbs to win and last year pretty much every tournament all year long took 25-28 lbs to win

 

green valley

12-mile

3-mile

lake of 3 fires

blue lake (the south end lily pads used to be phenomenal)

 

find the rock or brush piles and fish them with a jig or the grass lines with a chatterbait and you will have fun

Where did you end up fishing?

@Hawkeye21, I fished Prairie Rose one time. Lots of people chasing Crappie. I caught a few bass. Interesting lake.

 

I need to get back over to Iowa this fall.

 

Suggestions?

I fished a tournament at Little River in Leon this summer for the first time and I really like the lake. North side is alot of timber but the south end is pretty open.
