A couple of months ago, I wrote a story about the Master Angler program in the state of Iowa. In one section, I listed the top locations where these proud angler fish were taken. The top one shocked me! It was a general classification: farm ponds! Being an angler from northwest Iowa, there aren’t a lot of productive farm ponds, so I was kind of surprised by this. As a matter of fact, in 2023, 186 qualifying catches were taken at farm ponds in Iowa.
