Turkey River

Stocked by Big Springs
Public Land Fishing at the Turkey River is a unique experience in Iowa. Big Springs flows directly into the Turkey River, which allows trout to survive year round. This section is heavily stocked and provides excellent fishing for trout. Above and below the trout section can also provide fast smallmouth bass action. A trip to the Turkey River can be easily combined with a visit to the Big Springs hatchery and provide enjoyment for the whole family.
