  • Top Iowa Fishing Spots for the Week of May 21 the Way We Interact With
    Top Iowa Fishing Spots for the Week of May 21 The way we interact with others may be a little different right now with Iowa's current State of Emergency. The Iowa DNR has made adjustments to protect the health and safety of state employees, the public, and our angling community. But that doesn’t mean you can’t go fishing. Stay safe when fishing this spring with these tips: Try a new fishing spot — if your regular fishing location is popular and busy, try out a new one where less people are fishing. Once you find your spot, keep at least 6 feet of distance between you and other groups. Stick with your immediate family, but keep groups to fewer than 10 people. Bring lures from home instead of buying bait to minimize your interaction with other people. Bring hand sanitizer and wash your hands often. This weekly fishing report is compiled from information gathered from local bait shops, angler creel surveys and county and state parks staff. You can check the activity of your favorite lake or stretch of river within each district, including which species are being caught, a rating of the bite (slow, fair, good or excellent), as well as a hot bait or lure pattern. For current information, contact the district fisheries office at the phone number listed at the end of each district report. NORTHWEST NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI RIVER SOUTHEAST SOUTHWEST NORTHWEST Black Hawk Lake Water temperature is around 60 degrees. The outdoor walkway on the fish house structure in Town Bay is open to anglers; the indoor portion of the structure remains closed.

    THE NATIONAL GAZETTEER OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NEW JERSEY 1983 THE NATIONAL GAZETTEER OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NEW JERSEY 1983 Barnegat Lighthouse took its name from adjacent Barnegat Inlet which connects Barnegat Bay with the Atlantic Ocean. The name, first appearing on a 1656 map as "Barndegat," reflects the early Dutch heritage of New Jersey.
