Pool 10 is a reservoir in Iowa, near Clayton County.
Pool 10 is a Mississippi River pool in Clayton County, Iowa. Pool 10 covers about 17,070 acres and holds about 155,000 acre-feet.
Pool 10 runs for nearly 33 miles between Guttenberg and Lock and Dam 9 at Lynxville. Rocky banks with current suit smallmouth, while sloughs, wood and weed edges give largemouth, crappie and bluegill quieter water.
The reported fish at Pool 10 include northern pike, paddlefish, walleye, sauger, and smallmouth bass. That mix gives anglers more than one sensible way to fish Pool 10.
Fish reported from Pool 10 include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, common carp, flathead catfish, freshwater drum, largemouth bass, northern pike, paddlefish, sauger, shovelnose sturgeon, smallmouth bass, walleye, white bass, white crappie, and yellow perch.
For bass at Pool 10, fish weeds, wood and shade with a spinnerbait, jig or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth, and work a tube, Ned rig or small crankbait across rock and firm points for smallmouth.
For panfish at Pool 10, use a small jig or minnow beside brush for crappie, and fish a worm, cricket or tiny jig near weeds for bluegill, redear or other sunfish, and keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to bottom for yellow perch.
For roaming fish at Pool 10, jig a minnow or troll a crankbait along points and deeper edges for walleye, and work a jig or small crankbait close to bottom for sauger, and follow shad with a spoon, jig or small crankbait for white bass.
For large predators at Pool 10, cast a spoon, spinnerbait or swimbait beside weeds for northern pike.
For bottom fishing at Pool 10, put cut bait, a nightcrawler or prepared bait on bottom for channel catfish, and use live bait near wood or a deep hole for flathead catfish, and use corn or dough bait on a simple bottom rig for carp.
Other choices at Pool 10 include these plans: bounce a jig, worm or crayfish bait along firm bottom for freshwater drum.
Paddlefish at Pool 10 feed by filtering tiny food, so anglers use heavy snagging tackle during the legal season. Check the current rules for Pool 10 before going.
For shovelnose sturgeon at Pool 10, keep a worm or other natural bait on the bottom in steady river current with enough weight to hold it there.
In Pool 10, fish spinnerbaits or tubes along rocky current for smallmouth, use frogs near side-channel weeds for largemouth, put dip bait or nightcrawlers near riprap and wood for channel catfish, and jig current breaks for walleye and sauger.
On a first trip to Pool 10, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.
Spring around Pool 10 is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall around Pool 10 can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
A medium spinning rod covers smaller lures at Pool 10, while a heavier rod and stronger leader are better for pike or muskellunge.
Pick one point, weed edge, patch of wood or old-channel bend at Pool 10 that sits beside deeper water, then test more than one lure depth before moving.
No reliable maximum was found for Pool 10, so use lure contact and visible cover to find the first useful drop.
Northern pike fits the reported information for Pool 10, so use a lure and spot made for that fish instead of guessing.
