Most likely it would be in the Des Moines area mostly. But I definately like the trout in NE IA and I won't rule out anything.

Are you involved in any active fly fishing group up there?

Oh and one more thing, please tell me in the time I have been away that the situation with snakes has not changed and we don't have venoumous water snakes that have moved in up there? LOL, I know that may be trivial but I am really paranoid because now I am watching for cottonmouths, copperheads and rattler's now when I am out fishing. Not a real comfortable feeling for one who has a fear of snakes.

I have climbed to the bank for safety at the hatchery in Manchester when the water snakes were swimming my way, but they were just black water snakes, can you imagine my paranoia when I find out what creatures we have here. I didn't even mention the scorpians yet....
