Current Goal

To go from Bend, Oregon, to Gilbert, Iowa, doing a tour of good fishing spots between here and there. Photos of the journey would be nice! When it reaches Iowa, the plug will go fishing one last time, before retiring to become a Christmas tree ornament.

About This Item

This fishing lure is headed from the west coast to the midwest, so Aunt Karla can use it to catch a fish at Big Creek reservoir in Central Iowa. The plug was originally purchased in Ames, Iowa, and caught several largemouth bass in the midwest before it (and the rest of the contents of the tackle box) migrated west toward the sea. It's heading home, like the steelhead salmon do in Oregon.

    Too funny! We grab this to take it back home to Bend or. with us and then read its goal. Ha. I guess we'll definitely let it "visit" caches with us until we go to yellowstone in may. :)

    What was lost is now found! I had given up hope of finding the bug, thought I had lost it at a cache. Today, my son showed me the bug, it had fallen to the bottom of his caching bag! I will place it as soon as I can.
