Iowa DNR Fishing Webpages Add New Features

Recent updates to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources fishing web pages feature stocking information for the last 10 years, individual regulations for each lake and the trout stream pages include an automatically generated map.

The new information can be found by going to www.iowadnr.gov and clicking on the fishing tab, then on the where to fish link in the column on the left. Select either lakes, ponds and reservoirs, or trout streams then the individual resource.

The individual pages also include amenities in the area, common fish species in the water body, current fishing reports if available, and an annual fishing forecast.
