An Anglers Companion to the Public Streams & Rivers of Fayette County. 

This pocket-sized guide provides a wealth of information about Fayette County’s 10 spring-fed creeks that comprise over 13 miles of fishable water. The guide includes 8 individual trout stream maps that display walk-in fishing access points, parking lots, campsites, trout stiles, park amenities, public land, stream descriptions and stream length. The publication also looks to address common misconceptions and valuable information about Iowa’s fishing regulations, stream classifications and laws pertaining to public and private land fishing. Information about guide services, trout stocking and common fly hatches are featured in the guide as well.

This trout guide was sponsored in part by grants from the Fayette County Community Foundation and Iowa Tourism, with support from the Turkey River Recreational Corridor (TRRC) and Fayette County Tourism. It was created by the team of anglers at Northeast Iowa RC&D with input from Iowa DNR Fisheries Bureau Staff and the Fayette County Conservation Board.

The guide is also available for download in PDF format or for pick up at no-charge from several Northeast Iowa locations.
