We got word that there was a trash clean up going on at the Saylorville Spillway, and since I really can't stand how trashy these spillways get, Viv and I decided to go down and pick up some trash as well. We didn't learn about the pick-up until kind of the last minute, so we just decided to show up with some trash bags and help out.
We didn't see anyone picking up trash when we arrived, so we decided to go ahead and fish for a while. We both need Bigmouth Buffalo for our lifelists, so that was our main targeted species. After catching several small freshwater drums and channel cats, and after doing a little trash clean up, I hook a very big Bigmouth Buffalo, and as Viv was getting the net out, it broke. We still managed to land the 20+ lb Buffalo, but unfortunately, it was hooked just above the mouth, so we did not count it as a catch.
We still had a good time, though, cleaned up a fishing spot a little bit, and I had a chance to meet up with and talk to Kit from the 'Fishing Kit' channel. He has a really good channel with lots of Iowa fishing. Make sure to check it out.
