I grew up in DeWitt, IA, just a short 15 minute drive from the river. I won’t ever forget the countless weekends spent on the river growing up. We would put the boat in at the Camanche Boat ramp and do most of our water sports and fishing in Hanson Slough in Pool 14. Now that I have children of my own, I have now gotten them on the river as well to make sure they appreciate the beauty and feeling of being on the river!
