Have "reel" fun this weekend!

Grab your family and your poles and go fishing at one of the hundreds of Iowa lakes, thousands of miles of rivers or a nearby pond.

Here's a few tips for a fun, fishing weekend.

  • Invite a friend or neighbor to come along - you’ll have a buddy forever and someone to always back up your big fish stories.
  • Attend a free, hands-on fishing event to help get your family started. Check our events calendar for a list of this weekend's fishing events.
  • Zoom in on our interactive fishing atlas to find out everything you need to know about your favorite fishing spot or pick a new place to explore.
