Shoreline stabilization project underway at Iowa’s Silver Lake to improve water quality

Featured, Fishing, Iowa, Nature Page & Night Sky, News /

Work is underway to stabilize the shoreline on the northwest section of Silver Lake, in Iowa’s Dickinson County.
The contractor will close segments of the Trappers Bay State Park roadway as work progresses. Road closures and signage will be adjusted to allow as much public access as possible. Access must be restricted when trees are being removed to ensure the safety of park users. The public is advised to not drive or walk past the road closure signs.

Featured, Fishing, Iowa, News /

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources fisheries staff will release between 1,000 to 2,000 rainbow trout in nine lakes across Iowa in March and April as part of its cool weather trout program.
The spring community trout stockings are a great place to take kids to catch their first fish. A small hook with a nightcrawler or corn under a small bobber to casting small simple spinners such as a Panther Martin or Mepps is all you need to get in on the fun.

Ice-out channel catfish are biting in Iowa

Featured, Fishing, Iowa, News /

With the ice off of many Iowa waters, the DNR reminds the public that it is a good time to go after channel catfish in the state.
Channel catfish move close to shore and are eager to bite in many lakes and large reservoirs across Iowa just after the ice is gone. The bite starts sooner in southern Iowa impoundments since they lose ice a week or two before northwest Iowa natural lakes.
