Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test!

Here’s How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are for-matted as a 9x9 grid, bro-ken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, col-umn and box. Each num-ber can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources issues a weekly fishing re-port on Thursdays in an effort to pro-vide the latest information heading into the weekend. The weekly fish-ing report is compiled from informa-tion gathered from local bait shops, angler creel surveys, and county and state parks staff. For current infor-mation, contact the district fisheries office at the phone number listed at the end of each district report.

NORTHWESTBrushy Creek Lake

Surface temps are in the high 70s to low 80s. Bluegill - Slow: Anglers are reporting bluegill have moved into 15-20 feet of water. Largemouth Bass - Fair: Look for bass in shaded areas. Try a finesse presentation that will allow for a slow retrieve, such as a Texas rig worm. Muskellunge - Fair: Anglers are reporting increased muskie activity during small win-dows of time triggered by fronts, changes in wind speed/direction, etc.

Anglers can expect to fish for an ex-tended amount of time and see all the muskie action within a short window.

Storm Lake (including Little Storm Lake)

The dredge machine is in operation on Storm Lake. Boaters should use caution and stay clear of the dredge machine, booster pump barge, and pipeline. Channel Catfish - Fair: Try shrimp, dip bait, or cut bait. Walleye - Fair: Some keepers and slot fish are being caught trolling cranks.Black Hawk Lake Water levels are at or near crest. Heavy algal blooms have reduced water clarity. Largemouth Bass - Fair: Anglers have reported decent action for largemouth. Most fish un-der the legal length limit.Little Sioux River (Linn Grove to Correctionville) Water levels have come up some due to recent rains. The river should still be fishable, though. Channel Catfish - Good: Anglers have had

good luck using chicken guts and fishing along high banks in the cur-rent and around snags. Many fish are around 17-18 inches. Water levels are at or near crest at most of the lakes in the Black Hawk District. For more information on fishing in this area contact the Black Hawk District Office in Lake View at 712-657-2638.

Lake Smith Channel Catfish - Slow: Try after dark near the rocks or steeper shore-lines. Bluegill - Slow: Try in near the rocks at dark or out deeper looking for suspended fish with a depth find-er.

Lake Catherine Channel Catfish - Fair: There are some nice 22-27-inch cats in the lake. Try after dark with some cut-bait, worms, or stink bait. Large-mouth Bass - No Report:Clear Lake Channel Catfish - Fair: Fishing is slow to fair. The best bite will be

after dark but some fish will bite throughout the day. Target the edge of reeds or rocks with Sonny’s or similar bait. White Bass - Slow: An occasional white bass near the reeds on the little lake. Largemouth Bass - Fair: An occasional largemouth near the edge of the reeds, rocks, or lily pads on the little lake. Walleye - Slow: Wader fisherman or boats fish-ing near the edges of the reeds seem to be doing the best. Fish where the wind is pushing into the reeds. Mus-kellunge - Good: Yellow Bass - Fair: Some anglers catching yellows in about 6.5 feet off the north shore.

Crystal Lake Bluegill - Fair: Fish with a pop-per or a bobber set shallow for the bluegills closer to shore or try with a slip bobber near the deeper dredged water (11-13 feet). Casting a lighter jig and letting it slowly sink will also catch some fish. Tip with a worm or leech. Largemouth Bass - No Report: Try on the dredge cut weed line or up close to the rock shorelines. Wall-eye - No Report: An occasional wall-eye may be caught near the edge of the dredge cut along the edge of the curlyleaf. For lake updates and fishing infor-mation in the north central area con-tact the Clear Lake Fish and Wildlife office at 641-357-3517.

Big Spirit Lake Northern Pike - Fair: A few pike are being harvested by anglers using spinner baits near weed beds. Large-mouth Bass - Fair: Soft plastics and spinner baits worked near vertical structures should produce a few de-cent bass right now. Walleye - Slow: Walleye fishing has slowed down re-cently. A few slot fish are still being caught but harvest has been tough the past week or so. The best action has been on live bait presented very slowly near weed lines and rocky points.

East Okoboji Lake

Walleye - Fair: Anglers with the best success are working deeper ar-eas with live bait rigs and deep run-ning crankbaits. Yellow Bass - Fair: Deep weed lines and structures are providing the best action to anglers who use small jigs tipped with live bait.

Little Spirit Lake Bullhead - Fair: Anglers continue to harvest 9-11-inch bullheads from the shorelines using crawler rigs.

West Okoboji Lake Bluegill - Fair: Tiny jigs tipped with live bait have been producing a few keepers when worked near the edges of weed beds. Yellow Perch - Good: Fishing has slowed a little bit but anglers are still catching quite a few perch by working deep weed lines and rocky structures with live bait. Walleye - Fair: A few wall-eyes are being harvested from rocky points using leeches and crawler rigs presented slowly.

Lost Island Lake Channel Catfish - Good: Using cut or stink bait after dark is producing some nice size cats. White Bass - Fair: A small hair jig tipped with a white or chartreuse twister should get white bass interested. Bluegill - Fair: A small jig tipped with live bait near weed edges is producing small size class fish. Yellow Perch - Fair: Small jigs under a slip bobber tipped with live bait near weed lines and rocky structures should attract a few perch for anglers. Yellow Bass - Fair: Small jigs tipped with twister tails will get you a few small yellows with the oc-casional keeper.

Little Sioux River (state line to Linn Grove)

Channel Catfish - No Report: Cat-fish should be hitting cut or stink bait presented near deeper pools and tree

snags right now.West Fork Des Moines

(state line to Emmetsburg) Channel Catfish - Good: Catfish should be hitting cut or stink bait presented near deeper pools and tree snags right now. Walleye - Slow: An-glers are working areas below rock and sand bars with shiners and leech-es for a few fish right now. For lake updates and fishing infor-mation for Northwest Iowa, contact the Spirit Lake Fish Hatchery at 712-336-1840.

NORTHEASTVolga Lake

The universally accessible dock sustained major ice damage and not unusable. Largemouth Bass - Good: Bass are hitting crankbaits or a jig tipped with a variety of colored twistertails. Crappie - Good: Anglers are catching crappies around brush piles or by slowly trolling a jig tipped with a twistertail around the lake.

Lake Hendricks The new rock mounds are in place in the north end of the lake. These mounds are accessible by watercraft but there are some nice stumps along the shoreline that hold fish also. Channel Catfish - Good: Channel catfish are hitting a hook tipped with a worm. Largemouth Bass - Good: Anglers have been using spinnerbaits or crankbaits along the shoreline.

Lake Meyer Blue green algae has appeared in a few areas along the shoreline. Be careful around this algae, it can cause skin irritation and animals may get sick if they drink or swim in the water. Fish are okay to eat. Bluegill - Slow: Gills are hit or miss. Large-mouth Bass - Good: Anglers can find fish along weed lines. Crappie - Slow.
