Black Crappie - Fair: Look for them to be suspended up above the deeper water habitat now 14-16 foot. Haven't heard of many in shallow at all over the last week.
Bluegill - Good: The bluegills are holding out in 3-4 foot of water along the edges of the weed beds. The early nesters seem to have moved off also.
Largemouth Bass - Good: Bass fishing is picking up with the males coming in and building nest. Concentrate most of your effort along the edges of the trees and other habitat in 4-5 foot of water. Soft plastics and weedless jigs with trailers will help you keep from getting snagged up in the brush.
Water temperature is running in the mid 60's. Weed beds are growing up now. Water clarity remains very good.

Iowa-Caught Fish Are Safe to Eat, In Almost All Cases

The vast majority of Iowa’s streams, rivers and lakes offer safe and high-quality fish that pose little or no threat to human health if consumed. Some limitations may apply for young children and pregnant women. Here’s a Fish Consumption Fact Sheet from the Iowa DNR and the Iowa Dept. of Public Health for more information. Here is a list of current fish consumption advisories for Iowa lakes and rivers.
