Ramblings on Iowa Lakes and new Rock Creek Lake
A note from the state conservation commission explains hot water impounding to create a 640 acre Rock Creek Lake in Jasper county. The dam is done and the lake will outsize Lake Darling as Iowa’s largest man made lake once fisheries are cleared of life in Rock Creek. Rotenone will kill carp and rough fish before stocking, delaying fishing on the new lake.
