Statewide Iowa — The popular fish finder site run by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources is back up after being changed over to a new provider.
Fisheries Bureau spokesman, Jeff Kopaska, says the site includes information on species and numbers the fisheries staff gather during their surveys on lakes, rivers and streams.
He says it gives you the size and weight of fish by species.
He says there’s a lot of interest from anglers in this info.
Kopaska says it provides good short-term information for anglers looking for fish, but the DNR uses the info for longer-term management of the fisheries.
Kopaska says the numbers show the overall health of the fisheries are pretty good.
You can go to the DNR website at www.iowadnr.gov to find the survey information.
