The water
Upper Iowa River (Decorah) is a freestone river in Iowa, fished for smallmouth bass, walleye, trout, pike, redeye bass — brown, rainbow. On free-flowing water the trajectory is the story: falling and clearing after a bump is the window, rising water pushes fish to the banks and brings colour.
