Drove to Iowa's Yellow River State forest this afternoon and fished for a few hours. This is cell phone free Iowa, and no one ever gets a signal in this area.
Messaging my wife and son, using a linked phone was easy. Not sure how it happened but one message from my wife showed on my main phone screen, but never did appear in the app.
Fishing was crowded and slow. I thought that maybe this late in the season there'd be fewer people out, but the great weather seemed to have about everyone with a fishing rod up and at them.
I got one small rainbow on Big Paint creek, and a rainbow and a brown on Little Paint.
Young couple from Colorado was wading/fly fishing Big Paint. The gal had 6 or 7 hook-ups in about 10 minutes.
