Friends of the Decorah Hatchery: It is time to step up and make this happen. The interpretive center and restrooms would be a huge addition to the water recreation resources. Membership levels exist with the top level being the BALD EAGLES @ $1000.00 or higher. I've had the pleasure of fishing with people from all over the country who I believe have the financial security to step up and make this happen. I hope your experience in Winneshiek County was great and you will find the time to join the Friends of the Decorah Hatchery. Go to the link I have attached and become a friend today. It's the right thing to do.
As you can see from the pictures above and below I have covered some water lately. Fishing is very good on the UIR at this time. No huge fish but lots of fish when you find them. Check out the fishing reports section for details. Below you see a trip with the Iowa DNR to sample a trout stream. It appears likely that this is another good stream with natural reproduction of brown and brooke trout. This is a good thing on many levels. The next 8 weeks are golden if we can have normal weather. Get out and fish.
Electroshocking with DNR- Natural Reproduction Found!!
August News
Since normal has been thrown out the window I have no idea what will happen in August. Continual rain will maintain great flow rates on rivers. Fishing always picks up as days get shorter and water temp cools slowly. Let's hope that we have a nice seasonal August to catch some fish. All the rain does make me post that rain has produced a bumper crop of bugs. Bug spray may be necessary. Don't forget Trout Unilimited. If you need to find a place to deposit some hard earned money to help conservation, think about the Driftless Chapter of Trout unlimited here in Decorah. Please take some time to check out their site www.iadriftless.organd look for current information and timely topics. I have also provided a link to Trout Unlimited's recent article about the effects of climate change on trout populations. As always, the more you know, the better informed you are, the better decisions you can make.
OUR MISSION
This site is dedicated to providing timely information regarding fishing and water recreation in Winneshiek County and surrounding areas. The Upper Iowa River and numerous trout streams can provide endless hours of recreation for the individual, couple, or family. The trip can be as plain or fancy as the individual wants to make it for a day, weekend, or a week. Our goal is to provide you with information on current fishing conditions, outfitters, campgrounds, bed and breakfasts, water quality issues, weather, stream conditions etc.
