"I've never met a true angler who is not by nature at least a somewhat hopeful person."
Charles Gauvin
January 23-31, 2012
Were over half way through January and fishing has been excellent. It may not be great every day but if you go multiple days in a row you will catch fish. Ice fishing is now a go but be careful. Still many places with thin ice due to current. Trout fishing is good in streams with good flow. Streams or stream sections with low flow are froze. A year ago it was hard to walk anywhere let alone fish large sections of trout streams. This year you can walk anywhere with ease. Access to lots of great fishing is available. Weather forecast for January predict a warmer than normal month until the Oscillation thing that is giving us the mild weather changes it's pattern. (Oscillation now heading back to warmer segment again) The UIR is incredibly low. I believe it is at a record low level. I hope we have a normal spring of precipitation to at least get back towards normal flow. Low water is very susceptible to water pollution events. The solution to pollution is dilution and low water does not allow for dilution. Overall great opportunities abound in January for the outdoor water recreation enthusiast.
Winter Trout Fishing is a blank canvas! USUALLY
January News
January is typically the month that you watch fishing shows and hope to get out and fish. 2012 may provide you the opportunity to skip the shows and go fishing. I would not be opposed to floating the Upper Iowa river on a warm day with little wind. Open water fishing for Walleyes is still a go onthe Mississippi River and you can ice fish. Weather is more March like than typical January. If you come to N.E. Iowa you will find opportunities to fish. Great beauty, people and places to recreate.
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.
