WINTER IN IOWA

WINTER IN IOWA A new layer of snow and cold temperatures came into the region over the weekend. Activity on Five Island Lake showed up on Sunday as fishing huts showed up on the South Bay. Fishermen kept out of the wind inside as they dipped their lines into the frigid water and hoped for a bite. Lakes in the area report yellow perch and walleye being caught. The Iowa DNR Weekly Fishing Report does not include Five Island Lake. However, fishing at Lost Island Lake reports catching yellow perch as “good” and walleye as “fair”. The report notes that the aeration system is currently running on the northeast side of Lost Island Lake near the Nature Center. Ingham Lake aerator is also operational, plus geese are keeping an area of the lake open, so fishermen need to be cautious. Fishing at Ingham Lake: yellow perch, “fair”. The annual Yellow Bass Bash was cancelled this year, due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Plans are underway
