Back in the 90's when I was closer to the circle of putting tourney's together it was always where you could find the sponsors and housing. Rathbun and Red Rock were always willing to try. With the other great fisheries in Iowa we always struggled. Either they did not want more pressure on their water from the outside or the money just was just not there. As far as donations I'm too far removed to have names but I will tell you these organizations will always listen to an honest sponsor or donation. Lots of sub-sponsors are at these tourney's all over the place. Like most of life it revolves around money.
