I was there too, in July '64
I could catch 5 (limit) eyes in a couple hours everyday on the TFF.
Lures or bait didn't matter. Big brother riuned fishing when they gave up to the Indian tribes. Sad. I thought we were ALL Americans on this land.
Fishing the TFF in the 60's
The last owners names were Jack and Bobbie ????? Jack works for Shane and Mollie at the Midway bar. He can tell you stories about The Hiawatha
resort that will keep you in stitches.
To the great grandson of Joe Popko,---- He used to take me to bonnies mound and we would limit out before we got there using a nitecrawler and thumping logs. He had a deaf son who also guided back then------ they were wonderful people. The nwxt best guide I had was Joe Gullem------- what an honor to have been fishing with these two men on the TFF and Ed Robinson on the river. I'm 70 years old now and still go there twice a year from Iowa.
