In Lakes West Okoboji and East Okoboji and Spirit Lake, there shall be a closed season on walleye beginning February 15 each year. The annual opening for walleye in these three lakes shall be the first Saturday in May. In these three lakes there shall be an open season on muskellunge and tiger muskie from May 21 through November 30. 81.2(2) Black bass. A 15-inch minimum length limit shall apply on black bass in all public lakes except as otherwise posted. On federal flood control reservoirs, a 15-inch minimum length limit shall apply on black bass at Coralville, Rathbun, Saylorville, and Red Rock. All black bass caught from Lake Wapello, Davis County, and Brown’s Lake, Jackson County, must be immediately released alive. A 12-inch minimum length limit shall apply on black bass in all interior streams, river impoundments, and the Missouri River including chutes and backwaters of the Missouri River where intermittent or constant flow from the river occurs. A 14-inch minimum length limit shall apply to the Mississippi River including chutes and backwaters where intermittent or constant flow from the river occurs. All black bass caught from the following stream segments must be immediately released alive: 1.

  • Des Moines River Basin Master Reservoir Regulation Manual Feasibility Report with Integrated Environmental Assessment
    Des Moines River Basin Master Reservoir Regulation Manual Feasibility Report with Integrated Environmental Assessment Des Moines River, Saylorville Lake, & Lake Red Rock June 2018 This page was intentionally left blank. Des Moines River Basin Master Reservoir Regulation Manual Feasibility Report with Integrated Environmental Assessment Des Moines River, Saylorville Lake, & Lake Red Rock EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), Rock Island District (District) impounded the Des Moines River by two congressionally authorized Civil Works projects, Red Rock Dam (authorized in 1938) and Saylorville Dam (authorized in 1958) (Figure ES-1), creating Lake Red Rock and Saylorville Lake. The projects’ authorized purposes included flood risk management (FRM) for the Des Moines and Mississippi Rivers, low flow augmentation for downstream water supply and water quality, fish and wildlife management, and recreation. The current Des Moines River Basin Master Reservoir Regulation Manual was approved in 1992. Reservoir Regulation manuals consist of operational parameters defining how, and when, water is stored and released. These include a schedule of releases, conservation pool levels to be maintained during non- flood or drought conditions, and downstream water level constraints. The following key issues inform the primary purpose and need of the Des Moines River Basin Master Reservoir Regulation Manual update and are individually discussed in subsequent paragraphs: 1. The Des Moines River has experienced a significant increase in the magnitude and frequency of flooding. 2. Sedimentation has negatively impacted water supply capacity. 3. Approved water control deviations have confirmed the need to update the water control plans for each of these reservoirs. The Des Moines River Basin has experienced significant land use changes.

NORTHWEST NORTHEAST MISSISSIPPI RIVER SOUTHEAST SOUTHWEST MISSOURI RIVER New fish structure maps added to DNR website Check out the 60 new maps with fish structure locations for lakes across the state added to our Fishing Maps website this week. NORTHWEST NORTHWEST Arrowhead Lake Look for bluegill nest colonies along the west and east shorelines; the highest concentration are likely in the southern end of the lake. Black Hawk Lake Water temperatures are in the mid 70's. Bluegill - Good: Pick up bluegill just about anywhere along the shoreline.The fish are averaging 7.5 inches. Use a small hair or tube jig with a small piece of crawler fished under a bobber off the floating fishing pier, the west stone pier, and the inlet bridge. Bluegills are sitting on nests; you can easily target the males. Black Crappie - Fair: Crappie are starting to move off shore; anglers are still picking fish up from Ice House Point, the floating dock, the stone piers, and the inlet bridge. Catch fish up to 11 inches with crawlers and leeches fished under a bobber. The crappie spawn has slowed.

  • Report to IDNR River Programs Interpretive and Informal Biological Reconnaissance Des Moines Metro Area Waterways Submitted By: James Pease, Ph.D
    Report to IDNR River Programs Interpretive and Informal Biological Reconnaissance Des Moines Metro Area Waterways Submitted by: James Pease, Ph.D. [email protected] Date Submitted: 27 October 2015 Dates Surveyed: August 5, 7, 13, 17 2015 River Segment: Des Moines River Interpretive Theme(s) suggested for this river segment: Managing a river—from wild to tame and back again Stream Reach: Hwy 210 Access (Boone County) to Jester Park and Saylorville Lake UTM Beginning: 0428251 E – 4636148 N—Hwy 210 Access UTM End: 0441946 E – 4617650 N—Lakeview Rec Area boat ramp, river right, above Saylorville Dam Approximate mileage: 15.7 miles CFS average during this time period: 900 cfs Description and interpretation of this section: This section of the river falls under the heavy influence of the dam at Saylorville Lake. While sections above and below entail a paddle that is mostly lined with trees, this section is nearly entirely open. The broad floodplain of the river in this section—from ½ mile to 1 mile or more in width—is treeless and, due to this summer’s frequent alteration in river levels, the vegetation is composed largely of annual species of weedy herbs—plants able to take advantage of available location, moisture, and sunlight on very brief notice. A few areas, 10-15 feet above the current water levels, do contain some row-crops, mainly corn, on Corps of Engineers’ ground. The rich alluvial soils, when not flooded, are capable of producing large yields—albeit with the high risk of being flooded. Saylorville Lake contains some 1,400 acres of open water (at conservation pool level), 800 of which are shallow waters less than 2 feet deep, in addition to 600 acres in shallow island complexes.

WACHA1 and KELLY LTLRlCK2 'Biology Department, Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa 50312 2United States Almy Corps of Engineers, Saylorville Lake, Johnston, Iowa 50131 An online guide to wildflowers of the Saylorville Lake Recreation Area, Des Moines River Basin, Polk Co., Iowa, is maintained as a public information project in cooperation with the U.

  • July 9 Iowa Fishing Report.Pdf
    Top Iowa Fishing Spots for the Week of July 9 Stay safe when fishing this summer with these tips: Try a new fishing spot — if your regular fishing location is popular and busy, try out a new one that is not so crowded. 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.
