Open Season on Fishto Begin Sunday in Iowa
The long watched calendar marks May 15 as the lawful open season for fishing in Iowa though Cedar River high water delays peak sport by a week or two. Anglers prepare with new artificial baits while local dealers report strong tackle sales and a possible bumper season despite bass spawning not finishing until June. Deputy Warden Ed Chapman warns against violations and enforcement will be strict. Over a million tiny pike released into Cedar River aim to bolster future fishing, though only a fraction will reach maturity, limiting immediate impact on angling.
