Iowa stripper ice fishing

Iowa Wipers 24" is a big ass hybrid. From observations in other localities this fish seldom exceeds 10 pounds when fully grown. I thought only corn hybrids grew in Iowa! This winter again nothing was working so we tried the old one again and ended up getting our limit of giant perch and a few crappies. This setup is not heavy enough to adversely affect the bite. White bass have two close relatives — the smaller yellow bass that sometimes stunt in Iowa lakes and degrade fishing and the massive striper that they resemble.

Try fishing along vegetation lines in 4 to 6 feet of water. The magic depth on the big flats or around the dredge cuts is 9 to 10 feet. The river below Red Rock flows high and fast from mid-spring through early summer. His focus is usually the east side of the lake south of the beach, often off the Ensign Picnic Area.
