Ensign Hollow Creek
Special Regulations
Public Land Ensign Hollow, one of four catch-and-release trout streams in Iowa, provides trout anglers with the opportunity of catching crafty stream-reared trout. Stocked with brown and rainbow trout fingerlings yearly, Ensign Hollow has a healthy population of brown trout. Fish in the 8 to 14 inch size range are common, with fish up to 24 inches present.
Camping Anglers should keep in mind that Ensign Hollow is a catch-and-release, artificial lures only stream. Due to Ensign Hollow's small size and large quantity of man-made bankhides, it can prove to be a rewarding challenge. In mid-summer, Ensign Hollow may become overgrown with terrestrial vegetation, making fishing difficult. Best to avoid this by fishing from late fall, through the winter, and into spring.
