Join in on the family fun of fishing

Grab your family and your poles, get away from daily life stresses, hook a memory, and don’t let go. The memories are always bigger than the fish!

Here's a few tips for a fantastic fishing weekend.

  • Invite a friend or neighbor to come along – Oh the joy of watching someone reel in their first fish.
  • Attend a free, hands-on fishing event to help get your family started. Check our fishing calendar for a list of this weekend's fishing events.
  • Find a list of stocked lakes and ponds that are easily accessible in neighborhood parks and along trails on our interactive Iowa Community Fisheries Atlas.
  • Get tips for taking kids fishing and catching crappie, bluegills and yellow bass on our Fishing Tips website.
