Cane poles

[justwannano]

Been rerading some on-line info on cane poles.
I have just been introduced to a fishing spot where a long -long fishing pole would be just the right crappy bream getter. Its a slough so putting the boat in is not an option.
Anyway the writers suggest cutting your own cane poles. Problem is I don't think they grow this far north. SE Iowa. At least I've never seen any.
So how far south do I have to go to get into bamboo growing in waste land where I can find what I'm looking for? Read(free for the taking)
