Anglers (from left) Roy Brockmeyer of Oelwein, Tom Tedore of Jesup and Rod Morris of Vinton fish below the Wapsipinicon River dam at Littleton on Friday, June 10, 2011.

The anglers said they worry that the good fishing could be jeopardized by Department of Natural Resources plans to remove or modify the dam.Orlan Love/SourceMedia Group News
