Dur- ing the self-isolating, fishing became an important escape for our families. Thousands bought a fishing license for the first time. One out of every 10 Iowans now has a fishing license. Fishing is a great activity to keep your kids entertained, spend quality time together and stay ac- tive, in a safe and responsible manner. No matter where you live, you’re just a few minutes away from a relaxing time with friends and family. With hundreds of Iowa lakes, thousands of miles of rivers or a nearby pond – you are never far from great fishing. Many of Iowa’s largest cities’ parks and residential areas have public fishing ponds – perfect for busy families to “hook” memories in a fun setting close to home. Quickly find a fishing hot spot near you with our interactive community fishing atlas on our website at www.iowadnr.gov/fishlocal. Enticing a fish to bite your hook is fun for all ages. Grab your tackle box, take the family, and get your lines in the water. Make lasting memories together and put your worries behind you. Joe G.

  • Physiological Impacts of Catch-And-Release Angling Practices on Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass
    Physiological Impacts of Catch-and-Release Angling Practices on Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass STEVEN J. COOKE1 Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, University of Illinois and Center for Aquatic Ecology, Illinois Natural History Survey, 607 East Peabody Drive, Champaign, Illinois 61820, USA JASON F. S CHREER Department of Biology, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario N2L 3G1, Canada DAVID H. WAHL Kaskaskia Biological Station, Center for Aquatic Ecology, Illinois Natural History Survey, RR #1, Post Office Box 157, Sullivan, Illinois 61951, USA DAVID P. P HILIPP Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, University of Illinois and Center for Aquatic Ecology, Illinois Natural History Survey, 607 East Peabody Drive, Champaign, Illinois 61820, USA Abstract.—We conducted a series of experiments to assess the real-time physiological and behavioral responses of largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides and smallmouth bass M. dolomieu to different angling related stressors and then monitored their recovery using both cardiac output devices and locomotory activity telemetry. We also review our current understanding of the effects of catch-and-release angling on black bass and provide direction for future research. Collectively our data suggest that all angling elicits a stress response, however, the magnitude of this response is determined by the degree of exhaustion and varies with water temperature. Our results also suggest that air exposure, especially following exhaustive exercise, places an additional stress on fish that increases the time needed for recovery and likely the probability of death. Simulated tournament conditions revealed that metabolic rates of captured fish increase with live-well densities greater than one individual, placing a greater demand on live-well oxygen conditions.
