FF on the Root River from a State Bike Trail Angle!






This past weekend was a (Weekend On The Farm) a trek to the southeastern part of the state. The river bluffs and the lush green fields made biking fun. To combine biking and FF would be a BIG plus because of the access to various parts of the river. I put in over 100 miles and saw some wonderful river edges along the Iowa River in Decorah, IA and the South Branch of the Root River along the Harmony and Preston route. The Camp Creek that meets up to the Root River in Preston winds around the farm fields that are dotted with milking and beef cows along the way. The stretch between Lanesboro, Whalen, and Rushford is also an inviting FF paradise. Anyone who has fished the Root River, please comment! Anyone interested in combining the biking and fishing approach? The bike trail gives access to areas you would never see from the road. The 51 mile stretch gives you a lot of option to fish. I am up for it...........Are YOU??
