Trout Fishing Expected To Be Good In Iowa
Des Moines reports good trout fishing ahead in Iowa as streams have been stocked with brown rainbow and brook trout. Northeast streams show strong spring catches of large browns and rainbows amid clearer waters before recent rains muddied some creeks. Conservation officials note stream rises help scatter fish and clean watercourses. About 25 programs last year and several clinics this spring teach bait rods spinning rods fly rods cane poles and lures, with sessions for 12 to 40 people. A Osceola clinic saw a 15 inch bass caught during a demonstration and 50 bass on a later trip by attendees. Organizations are urged to contact local officers to arrange clinics.
