Hello From Iowa

[Scott C]

Found this site and so far love it, just wanted to say hi. I am 31 and a farmer in Iowa, my wife and I have two kids (3yrs and 10 mos.). My grandparents used to live in Shell Knob and I would spend a month there every summer until I was 14 when we had to move grandpa back up to Iowa for health reasons and haven't been back since. Taking my wife down this summer for our 5 year anniversary and can't wait to get back. She wants to see the area because of all the great stories of summers, Christmas, and white bass fishing in the spring that I had there. Already have her talked in to looking into buying a small vacation property without even seeing the area with the hopes of being able to live part time on Table Rock down the road when we become empty nesters (would still need to spend spring and fall in Iowa for planting and harvest seasons).

Grew up fishing farm ponds and small lakes around Iowa. My other grandparents have a place in Northern Minnesota so have gotten to fish a lot of great places with my family. However nothing compared to the times fishing on Table Rock and definitely want my kids to have those experiences.

Anyways looking forward to learning how to fish the lake again as well as fishing other area bodies of water as i have already found great info on my couple of days on this site.

Their place is in between Hackensack and Walker on Ten Mile Lake, crazy how clear of a lake that is.

Internaional Falls is a great place been there only once but loved the area, just not sure I could handle the winters, Iowa winters are bad enough but up there is a whole new meaning to cold.

Welcome Scott! I went through International Falls a couple times and every time I did I saw people in groups standing outside the bars drinking and have a great time. Passing those memories down to the kids will be great and then having a place on Table Rock for them to come down to will be even better. Then taking your Grandson White Bass fishing has got to be awesome.
