 Iowa's
trout program consists of 44 catchable rainbow, brown and brook trout fisheries, seven
special
trout fisheries, four winter urban trout fisheries, and 28 put-and-grow trout fisheries. Many of these must be maintained by
stocking
because successful natural reproduction of trout does not occur in
all Iowa waters. Thirty-five trout streams, however, offer excellent angling opportunities for catching wild, naturally-sustaining brown or brook trout
populations. These various types of trout fisheries have been developed to enable the trout angler to select the types of trout fishing preferred.
The trout streams are described using an icon format, to make it easier for the angler to get the information needed at a glance. Information is provided on the stream's location, qualities, and other additional tidbits for you to get the most out of your fishing experience. Location maps are made using State of Iowa GIS maps and Rural Address Maps provided by the respective county engineer's office. On your next outing in Northeast Iowa, plan to visit one of Iowa's three trout production facilities- Manchester, Decorah, or Big Springs. The grounds to each facility are open to the public year round from sunrise to sunset. Fisheries employees are present during office hours to answer your questions pertaining to all of Iowa's fisheries programs as well as current trout stream conditions.
