Rick, is it hard to obtain access to the ponds. When I lived up there I didn't know a lot of the ponds were even there. I used to drive a little ways over west of Des Moines to the Garst ponds, but I don't know if you can still do that.

What is it that you find to be some of your most effective flies?

BTW Rick, I am the one who emailed you.
