New Iowa muskellunge season approved for anglers
The Iowa Conservation Commission approved a muskie fishing season from now to November 30 this year and May 15 to November 30 in future years. This is Iowa’s first muskellunge season as muskies, introduced in 1960, now populate Clear Lake East Okoboji and West Okoboji. Anglers may keep one muskie per day measuring 30 inches or longer. Muskies grow rapidly and some exceed 17 pounds, and are often confused with northern pike though muskies have scales only on the upper cheek.
