Welcome to DNR's new interactive fishing report
Iowa DNR's fishing report system has been updated with new search and filter options including by location, fish species and various amenities available at each location.
The weekly fishing report is broken down by fisheries regions and management districts – Mississippi River, northeast, northwest, southeast and southwest. You can check the activity of your favorite lake, pond, river and stream within each region, including which species are being caught, a rating of the bite (slow, fair, good or excellent), and simple tips and tricks for targeting those fish.
