The State Conservation Commission reports better statewide fishing as artificial lakes show top angling success with bass bluegill bullhead and crappie improving across the state. Natural lakes lag in wall eye and northern fishing while good bullheading and panfishing persist. Rivers vary with weather. Volga northeast Iowa offers excellent smallmouth bass, Mississippi River north of Dubuque is excellent, Missouri River fair to good.
