Additional Information

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources was officially formed in 1986 and oversees all of Iowa's natural resources and carries out state and federal laws to protect air, land, and water. They also facilitate education and outreach to Iowans on how they can interact with the local resources.

Crappies are two types of freshwater fishes of the Pomoxis genus. They are a popular food and are one of the most frequently caught panfish, the category of edible fish that do not outgrow the standard size of a frying pan. They are also enjoyed in sport fishing. Crappies are popular among people who fish in Iowa and are a catch suited for anglers of all ages and skill levels.
