New Iowa Fishing Law Sets Statewide Opening Date
The Iowa Fish and Game Commission announced May 15, 1928 as the effective start for new fishing rules. The regulation eliminates two zones, standardizes opening dates, and designates most fish as game fish with a 25 fish daily limit for bullheads. It restricts catches in Spirit Lake, Clear Lake, and Okoboji waters, sets species size limits, and requires constant attendance with two lines max.
