Instead of a hole in one, people on the greens at the West Union Golf Course might just be trying to find the number one hole when it comes to trout fishing.

Don’t be surprised if fly rods don’t start showing up alongside drivers and putters in people’s golf bags and don’t be shocked to see someone golfing in a set of waders.

Otter Creek, which meanders through the golf course grounds, has fish in it, and not just any fish, but some of the most prized game fish in Iowa.
