Hey all, I joined the ISA this spring in hopes of going on some outings, meeting some new people, and catching my first Iowa/Illinois smallmouth, but so far the local outings have always conflicted with my (or my wife's) schedule. Any recommendations for streams to try within an hour or two of the Quad Cities (preferably on Iowa side, but open to Illinois also)? I don't want to steal your favorite holes, but streams/ public access points should be enough to get me started. I keep reading about you guys catching great fish this fall, and I want to get in on the action!
