Iowa Fly Fishing identifies 50 trout habitats in the Northeastern counties of Iowa. The Iowa trout streams of these counties provide for endless combinations of Iowa fly fishing experiences.

Iowa trout fishing exists mainly because of the Iowa DNR's continuing stocking efforts. However, there has been signs that natural reproduction is increasing. But if the Iowa trout streams are unable to handle natural reproduction, then unless you stock Iowa trout streams... there won't be trout. Having said that, small stocked fish can and do grow to be bigger trout that may be able to reproduce.

The Iowa trout streams located in northeastern counties are listed below with links to their respective waters.

If you leave the trout in the water unharmed so that it can live to swim again, then maybe Iowa DNR could slow it's trout stocking.
