Fishing Regulations in Iowa
Size limits, bag limits, and seasons by species in Iowa.
Iowa's Department of Natural Resources oversees everything from the Driftless region's spring-creek trout to the walleye, bass, and panfish of the natural lakes and reservoirs. Trout streams and lakes carry their own limits and seasons, so confirm the rules for your water before you keep a fish.
