Spring Branch Creek is one of six special regulation trout
streams in Iowa. It has a 14 inch minimum length
limit on all trout species and artificial lure only regulation in effect.
Spring Branch is a favorite among fly-fishing anglers due to its consistent
hatches of caddisflies, mayflies, and midges. Spinfishing anglers can also
take advantage of Spring Branch's healthy population of quality sized rainbow,
brown, and brook trout.
Spring Branch creek is located adjacent to the
Manchester
Trout Hatchery. The public is welcome to tour the grounds, view the
hatchery, and feed the trout. Picnicking areas are also available.
