RE: Fishing Report any and all fish
Dubuque pool is starting to pick up for bass. I was out for 2 hours with a buddy and caught 7 fish. 1 largemouth was 16 1/4 and a monster 20" smallie. I can wait to get out when the water goes up a few degrees!

I got out last night again for only 2 1/2 hrs boated 2 stripers, 3 herring, and 33 white bass while jigging. the larger of the 2 stripers only went 5lbs 12oz, but it's better than nothing.

RE: Fishing Report any and all fish
here in wyoming on the last day of march we caught 28lbs of trout, we fished from shore since there was only about 15 ft of open water along the shorline. not bad for about 4 hours work! havent been able to get out since then
