That’s because your web meister used to work at a bait store. The pay’s not great, but you get all the bait you can eat. Jene and Kathy Hughes run the Second Avenue Bait House and Fly Shop. (I used to work at Harry Grimm’s Bait Shop. He was one of the Grimm brothers. I know you’ve heard of the Grimm brothers.) Let’s take a look at the Hughes’ bait shop. You get a lot more at this bait store than nightcrawlers. LA Pic You'll find great bait on Second Avenue right next to the Des Moines River. LA Pic They provide 24-hour bait with this well-stocked bait machine. LA Pic Main counter where you find helpful advice, catching reports, and fish stories. LA Pic You'll find walls of tackle, hooks, and various equipment to catch anglers and fish. LA Pic Metal flo-thru cages to keep your catch alive. LA You can catch your own minnows with a cast net. LA Styrofoam™ bait buckets. When I worked in the bait house, Styrofoam™ didn't exist yet. LA Minnow aerator, water inflow, minnow net, cover for the jumpers. LA Nightcrawlers need this special refrigerator. The Hughes also sell crayfish and waxworms. LA There's another bait house on the left side that caters only to fly fishermen and women. LA Here's just a portion of their fly-tying and fly fishing tackle inventory. Fly Fishing Website. You can find out much more about fly fishing in Iowa by going to www.iowaflyfishing.com. Jene wrote the book on it -- *Iowa Trout Streams. He also gives on-site classes that cover fly fishing for much more than trout fishing. Point of info: Some 275 members belong to the Hawkeye Fly Fishing Association. LA Out back behind these grapes and under this sun screen, you find ... LA ... Jene's goldfish pond. He threatens to build a much larger pond next year. LA And here it is next year and here's the new pond. Media Star.* You may have heard Jene on WHO radio’s Sportsmen’s Corner. He’s been on several times. He also played in the Tin Pan Blues Band at our 2002 Sweet Corn Event. The guy gets around.
