Greater Ottumwa Park South

Open water at city pond caught this one on a little split tail white jig = larger than normal; healthy great coloring.

I was fishing for trout with a black rooster tail spinner with the treble hook, and on the edge of the ice sitting in ambush, to my completely unexpected surprise, this little guy pounded it! 1st ever winter bass!

The ponds of OTTUMWA have 1 pond that is stocked with 1500 trout and it’s a wonderful thing that the DNR provides here in the state of Iowa.

caught 6 at city park this was largest no scale with me maybe 3+ pounds weightless stickbait. Berkeley General
