Fly Fishing Adventures
Jeff’s summaries of his fly fishing exploits.
Iowa’s Driftless Area
Our second week of vacation found us putting Nebraska in our rear view mirror and dead-heading for Northeastern Iowa’s driftless area. When I say that Nebraska was in our rear view mirror…I might add that one very large and ugly super-cell was also bearing down on us from Sioux City to Waterloo; I was driving […]
Decorah, Iowa and The Driftless – Video
