The October 14th Rock Island Conservation Club picnic is cancelled, but the Scott County, Iowa Conservation Tagged Trout Release is still scheduled to take place today, bad weather or not. It may be a bit miserable, but there are a lot of great prizes to be won by turning in a tagged trout, and/or winning from the free raffle tickets that are handed out to everyone.
Sponsors include: Frabill, Plano, TTI-Blakemore, MidWest Outdoors Magazine & Television, Vexilar Inc, Mercury Marine, Blitz Lures LLC, Jiffy Ice Drills, Henry Repeating Arms, Work Sharp, and Custom Jigs & Spins.
There will be 2,000 trout stocked, with 200 being tagged.
Fishing can start at any time, but the trout will not be released until 10:30 a.m. at the boat ramp area of Lake of the Hills, in West Lake Park, near Davenport, IA.
Hope to see you there. Stop by and say hello.
Until next time, get out on the water, and enjoy a great day of fishing.
